Realizing the Continuous Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Anilines Using an Immobilized Nitroreductase

and milligram isolated yields >50% for the product anilines. This facile method removes the need for high-pressure hydrogen gas and precious-metal catalysts and proceeds with high chemoselectivity in the presence of hydrogenation-labile halides. Application of this continuous biocatalytic methodology to panels of aryl nitro compounds could offer a sustainable approach to its energy and resource-intensive precious-metal-catalyzed counterpart.
