Towards the establishment of biocatalytic processes for the synthesis of optically pure amines

Version 1

The Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation is a new institution through which a profound reforming effort is being undertaken in the field of Research and Innovation in the country. The Organization supports unrestricted research (the systematic inquiry born of scientific curiosity) and new researchers by providing scholarships for doctoral candidates, as well as research projects for post-doctoral students, Researchers and Faculty Members. Through H.F.R.I., the research and academic ...

CEPOPA envisions a sustainable cascade one-pot process for the synthesis of optically pure amines from alcohols and/or alkynes, using enzymes immobilized onto catalytically active nanomaterials. In the framework of the project, efficient chemoenzymatic processes will be developed for the synthesis of a set of amines that can be used as building blocks for pharmaceuticals or biomaterials.
