Selective hydrogenation of nitro compounds to amines by coupled redox reactions over a heterogeneous biocatalyst

Cleaner synthesis of amines remains a key challenge in organic chemistry because of their prevalence in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and synthetic building blocks. Here, we report a different paradigm for chemoselective hydrogenation of nitro compounds to amines, under mild, aqueous conditions. Th...
