Gacs, Jenő (author), Zhang, W. (author), Knaus, Tanja (author), Mutti, Francesco G. (author), Arends, I.W.C.E. (author), Hollmann, F. (author)The consecutive photooxidation and reductive amination of various alcohols in a cascade reaction were realized by the combination of a photocatalyst and several enzymes. Whereas the photocatalyst (sodium anthraquinone-2-sulfonate) mediated the light-driven, aerobic oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols, the enzymes (various ω...journal article 2019

(author), Paul, C.E. (author), Alcalde, Miguel (author), Hollmann, F. (author)Peroxygenases are very interesting catalysts for specific oxyfunctionalization chemistry. Instead of relying on complicated electron transport chains, they rely on simple hydrogen peroxide as the stoichiometric oxidant. Their poor robustness against H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> can be addressed via in situ generation of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2<...journal article 2019

Zhang, W. (author), Gacs, Jenő (author), Arends, I.W.C.E. (author), Hollmann, F. (author)The aerobic organocatalytic oxidation of alcohols was achieved by using water-soluble sodium anthraquinone sulfonate. Under visible-light activation, this catalyst mediated the aerobic oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones. The photo-oxyfunctionalization of alkanes was also possible under these conditions.journal article 2017
