Novel applications of photobiocatalysts in chemical transformations

Photocatalysis has proven to be an effective approach for the production of reactive intermediates under moderate reaction conditions. The possibility for the green synthesis of high-value compounds using the synergy of photocatalysis and biocatalysis, benefiting from the selectivity of enzymes and the reactivity of photocatalysts, has drawn growing interest. Mechanistic investigations, substrate analyses, and photobiocatalytic chemical transformations will all be incorporated in this review. We seek to shed light on upcoming synthetic opportunities in the field by precisely describing mechanistically unique techniques in photobiocatalytic chemistry.
