The hyperthermophile Pyrococcus furiosus catalyses the hydrogenation of a broad range of carboxylic acids selectively to the corresponding primary alcohols. Other functional groups such as isolated C=C-double bonds are not touched. The chemoselectivity of the carboxylate reduction may be directed towards aldehydes by simple medium engineering.
嗜热菌 Pyrococcus furiosus 能够选择性地将广泛的羧酸氢化生成相应的伯醇。其他官能团,如孤立的 C=C 双键则不会被触及。通过简单的介质工程,可以将羧酸还原的化学选择性引导至醛。
