A mild and efficient Dakin reaction mediated by lipase

We have developed a novel lipase-mediated method to realize the Dakin reaction. A wide range of hydroxylated benzaldehydes could be oxidized with high yields (from 90% to 97%) under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, this lipase-mediated reaction could be scaled up easily and Novozym 435 could be r...
