Biocatalytic halogenation for the sustainable development of agrochemicals
Description
The biological activity of agrochemicals is often modulated by the introduction of halogen atoms. To develop sustainable processes for the regio- and stereoselective halogenation of abundant bio-renewable starting materials, the development of tailored biocatalysts is targeted.
