Abstract
The Cover Feature shows the exploration of innovative routes in the late-stage oxidation of terpenoids by combining chemical and enzymatic catalysis to achieve the first successful oxyfunctionalization of complex tricyclic and macrocyclic terpenoids. Novel oxiranes and hemiacetals were formed through epoxidation and hydroxylation catalyzed by unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs), expanding the terpenome and unlocking pathways for bioactive compounds like flavors, fragrances, and APIs. More information can be found in the Research Article by A. Kirschning, S. Kara and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.202401414). Dr. Hanna Grimm is acknowledged for the cover design.
期刊介绍:
With an impact factor of 4.495 (2018), ChemCatChem is one of the premier journals in the field of catalysis. The journal provides primary research papers and critical secondary information on heterogeneous, homogeneous and bio- and nanocatalysis. The journal is well placed to strengthen cross-communication within between these communities. Its authors and readers come from academia, the chemical industry, and government laboratories across the world. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies, and is supported by the German Catalysis Society.
