Supramolecular Oxidation of Anilines Using Hydrogen Peroxide as Stoichiometric Oxidant

摘要

The mildness,selectivity,and rate of enzymatic catalysis greatly exceed those of ordinary chemical catalysis.Enzymes use binding and proximity effects to achieve astounding rate enhancements for specific reactions and substrates.An important new area of organic chemistry is devoted to mimicking the supramolecular catalysis of enzymes,which may lead to new insight into enzyme function,or unprecedented powerful and selective catalysts.
