Abstract
AbstractBiocatalytic oxidation reactions of toluene derivates to the corresponding aldehydes are typically challenged by regio‐ and chemoselectivity issues. In this contribution we address both challenges by a combined reactant‐ and reaction engineering approach. We demonstrate that the peroxygenase‐catalysed transformation of ring‐substituted toluenes proceeds highly regioselectively in benzylic position. Furthermore, neat reaction conditions not only enable attractive product concentrations (up to 185 mM) but also result in highly chemoselective oxidations to the aldehyde level.
