Synthetic applications of purified laccase from Pleurotus sajor caju MTCC-141

摘要

The study is devoted to the role of laccase, purified from the liquid culture medium of the indigenous fungal strain Pleurotus sajor caju MTCC-141, in selective bioconversion of toluene derivatives into substituted benzaldehydes with high yield. Coupling reactions of 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propionic acid with 4-aminobenzoic, 4-aminoacetophenone and 1-hexylamine proceeded at room temperature under the action of laccase to give the corresponding products with excellent yields.
