Summary: In this study, a two-step continuous flow enzymatic synthesis process was demonstrated using basic sugars as substrates in monolithic microreactors. Immobilisation of the enzymes on functionalised silica supports was found to be most effective through covalent bonding by amino groups using a glutaraldehyde linker. The process allows for the continuous in flow synthesis of natural and non-natural trehalose analogues and disaccharides, with high space-time-yield values achieved for UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase and trehalose transferase catalysed reactions.

Summary: We designed and synthesized a NN-CoII bidentate complex and used it for the amination of alcohols under mild and solventless conditions. The complex exhibited good reactivity towards both primary and sterically hindered secondary alcohols, providing high yields of amines. The pyrazole moiety in the ligand played a crucial role in the reaction. Furthermore, we demonstrated the reusability of the complex as a homogeneous cobalt catalyst.

Summary: Replicating the enzymatic surface microenvironment in vitro is challenging, but constructing an analogous model could facilitate our understanding of surface effects and aid in developing an efficient bioinspired catalytic system. In this study, five unique Cu2O morphologies were generated, and the surface morphology variations were found to be a consequence of differences in the exposure of low-index facets. The reactivity of Cu2O was found to be influenced by the proportion of {110} planes, with r-Cu2O exhibiting the highest reactivity.

Summary: This review presents the recent research advances on single-atom catalysis for deep reduction of CO2. Detailed introductions and summaries were classified into three categories based on proton-coupled multi-electron transfer approaches: strengthening metal-support interaction, rational design and regulation of coordination environment, and development of SACs with multi-atom active sites. The challenges and future research directions in the field of SACs for CO2 reduction are also proposed.

Summary: This article reports a transition-metal-free process for in situ denitrogenation of tosylhydrazones, resulting in the production of various sulfones. The authors used a phenalenyl-based odd alternant hydrocarbon as a photoredox catalyst, which acted as a potent oxidant to facilitate the denitrogenation reaction. The method showed wide functional-group tolerance and high yields, making it suitable for late-stage modification of natural products.
