Biocatalysed hydrogenation of nitro compounds to amines
Biocatalysed hydrogenation of nitro compounds to amines
27 August 2024
Work from Kylie Vincent’s group is published in Nature Communications, describing a heterogeneous biocatalyst system for selective hydrogenation of nitro compounds to amines under mild H2 pressure.
The reaction shows over 1.5 million catalyst turnovers and has applicability to a wide range of substituted nitroarenes. The catalyst system has been patented through OUI, and is already licensed to HydRegen.
