Biocatalysis making waves in organic chemistry

Ulf Hanefeld et al.

Summary: Biocatalysis has had a significant impact on chemical synthesis, influencing the development of organic chemistry. Currently, hydrolases are widely used on an industrial scale, and other enzyme classes are gaining attention for solving synthetic challenges in organic chemistry. The combined efforts of various fields will establish a new toolbox for chemistry. Recent developments in this area are being critically reviewed.

Toward the Copolymerization of Propylene with Polar Comonomers

Stephen L. J. Luckham et al.

Summary: Polyolefins, including polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), are widely used in consumer products and can be enhanced by forming composites with other materials. To improve their compatibility with other materials, the inclusion of polar functionalities in the polymer chain is essential. Different transition metal catalysts have varying effects on achieving this goal, with late transition metal catalysts being more suitable for reactions with polar comonomers.
