Flow chemistry Set-up Enables Integration of Chemo- and Biocatalysis

Abstract

The move towards sustainable syntheses is a widespread effort which sees academia and industry developing new strategies and solutions. Flow chemistry, and in general the flow set up, with the compartmentalization of different steps in dedicated reactors, offers new possibility to integrate biocatalytic steps within a chemical cascade, often without the need to redesign the whole pathway. Here we report key examples in the field over the past few years.
