Regioselective Biocatalyst for Alkane Activation under Mild Conditions

Going green: Chemical methods for the hydroxylation of alkanes involve toxic, dangerous reagents and are not very selective. In a biochemical alternative route based on an artificial self‐sufficient cytochrome P450, the highly selective and efficient terminal hydroxylation of n‐alkanes is possible u...

Zusammenfassung:Going green: Chemical methods for the hydroxylation of alkanes involve toxic, dangerous reagents and are not very selective. In a biochemical alternative route based on an artificial self‐sufficient cytochrome P450, the highly selective and efficient terminal hydroxylation of n‐alkanes is possible under mild conditions (see scheme; NADPH is the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+)).
