Chemoselective Synthesis of Hydrocinnamaldehyde Enabled by a Self-Sufficient Heterogeneous Redox Biocatalyst
The selective C═C bioreduction of cinnamaldehyde to hydrocinnamaldehyde is a key transformation for the fragrance, pharmaceutical, and polymer industries, but remains challenging with conventional metal catalysts. Here, we report a self-sufficient heterogeneous biocatalyst (ssHB) combining an extremophilic ene-reduct...
