Highly Important Paper "A Visible‐Light Promoted Amine Oxidation Catalyzed by a Cp*Ir Complex" in ChemCatChem by Dr. Okamoto
2020.09.23
N-heterocycles are ubiquitous compounds widely represented in active pharmaceutical ingredients. Hence, engineered enzymes and synthetic catalysts have been developed respectively. Assist Prof. Yasunori Okamoto at FRIS, Tohoku University, and Prof. Thomas R. Ward at the University of Basel have discovered an organometallic complex catalyzing selective dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles under physiological conditions. The findings were published in ChemCatChem on July 22, 2020. This work was selected as a highly important paper and a cover feature (published on September 18, 2020). Additionally, an interview of Assist. Prof. Okamoto was published in the same journal on 18 August 2020.
