A one-pot method for converting paraffinic hydrocarbons into versatile synthetic intermediates has been a long-standing goal in chemical catalysis research. In March’s issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society, Minteer and co-workers report an electrochemically driven enzymatic cascade capable of producing imines from unactivated alkanes.

用于有机合成的带电酶级联

将链烷烃转化为通用合成中间体的一锅法一直是化学催化研究的长期目标。在 3 月的美国化学学会杂志上，Minteer 及其同事报告了一种电化学驱动的酶级联反应，能够从未活化的烷烃中产生亚胺。
