Recent Advances in Molecular Oxygen Assisted Laccase Catalyzed Sustainable Organic Transformations

Abstract

Bio‐catalysis is a versatile and powerful tool in organic synthesis, hazardous chemical remediation, biosensors, and industrial sectors. It has been claimed that laccases can function as an intriguing class of biocatalyst in organic chemistry. They are highly favourable catalysts and offer advantages over conventional oxidants and toxic metal catalysts by exhibiting high activity in aqueous media under mild conditions and also work on diverse functional groups possessing substrates maintaining the atom economy. They coordinate well with molecular oxygen and perform chemo selective oxidation reactions, as well as a plethora of other reactions. However, this review is intended to cover molecular oxygen‐assisted laccase catalysis in organic transformations and its significance in industry.

A facile method of treating spent catalysts via using solvent for recovering undamaged catalyst support

“…Currently, new methodologies appearing on sustainable catalysts for the recovery of the catalyst. These methods encompass heterogeneous metal catalytic systems reactivity, selectivity, recyclability, and catalytic activity, as well as the mechanistic pathway of desired product formation, the removal of multiple organic dyes by using biomass-derived functionalized graphene aerogels [30][31][32][33].…”

Preparative scale Achmatowicz and aza-Achmatowicz rearrangements catalyzed by Agrocybe aegerita unspecific peroxygenase

“…4 → 5a , Scheme 2A). 9 After this, Deska et al reported that C. fumago chloroperoxidase ( Cfu CPO), catalyzes the Achmatowicz reaction on a range of substrates and with moderate enantioselectivity. 10 A subsequent study by the same group utilized Cfu CPO, assisted by glucose oxidase (GOx), for the generation of peracid from an acetic acid buffer, for Achmatowicz reactions of the type 4 → 5b (Scheme 2B).…”

Peculiar Properties of Template-Assisted Aniline Polymerization in a Buffer Solution Using Laccase and a Laccase–Mediator System as Compared with Chemical Polymerization

“…These intermediates can oxidize the target substrate at a high rate. The use of laccase-mediator systems (LMS) in various areas is extensively covered in the literature [27][28][29][30][31].…”
