This tutorial review provides a survey of syntheses in which an enzymatic step contributed to
generating downstream molecular complexity in the target. The first part provides a guide to …

Novozym 435 (N435) is a commercially available immobilized lipase produced by
Novozymes. It is based on immobilization via interfacial activation of lipase B from Candida …

Epoxidation and Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of olefins and (cyclic) ketones were successfully
carried out in hydrogen-bond-donating (HBD) ionic liquids, using a lipase-catalysed …

The Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of ketones to the corresponding esters or lactones is a
valuable transformation that has been upgraded several times over the last century, from the …

A new method for the chemo-enzymatic Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of cyclic ketones to

Biogenic furans are currently discussed as highly attractive alternative feedstock in a post-
fossil society; thus, also the creation of sustainable furan valorization pathways appears of …

Levoglucosenone (LGO), a valuable chiral platform chemical that can be efficiently
produced from catalytic fast pyrolysis of cellulose, has been efficiently converted into …

Biotechnological processes are typically perceived to be greener than chemical processes.
A life cycle assessment (LCA) was performed to compare the chemical and biochemical …

In this work, we have developed redox-responsive platinum (II) prodrug micelles based on
