The combination of chemo-and photocatalyses with biocatalysis, which couples the flexible
reactivity of the photo-and chemocatalysts with the highly selective and environmentally …

Excess CO 2 and NO 3-released by human industrial activities have contributed to the
deterioration of the global environment. Simultaneous activation and reduction of CO 2 and …

Aldehydes are attractive chemical targets both as end products in the flavors and fragrances
industry and as synthetic intermediates due to their propensity for C–C bond formation …

Biobased raw materials, such as carbohydrates, amino acids, nucleotides, or lipids contain
valuable functional groups with oxygen and nitrogen atoms. An abundance of many …

A chemoenzymatic strategy has been implemented to synthesize nitriles from benzyl amines
under mild conditions. Aldoxime dehydratase (Oxd) plays a decisive role to convert …

Carboxylate reductases (CARs) are valuable catalysts for the selective one‐step reduction
of carboxylic acids to their corresponding aldehydes. In recent years, numerous new CARs …

Various widely applied compounds contain cyano‐groups, and this functional group serves
as a chemical handle for a whole range of different reactions. We report a cyanide free …

The aim of this work was to map the sequence space of aldoxime dehydratases (Oxds) as
enzymes with great potential for nitrile synthesis. Microbes contain an abundance of putative …

Nitriles are broadly applied to synthesize pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials
because of their versatile transformation. Although various methods have been developed …

Nitriles are of significant interest in the flavor and fragrance industries with potential
application in cosmetics due to their higher stability than analogous aldehydes. However …
