Biocatalysis has gained attention in recent decades as a green and efficient method for producing high-value chemicals. Enzymes, notably due to their high selectivity, offer significant advantages organic synthesis. However, industrial implementation remains limited owing challenges such free enzyme instability, inhibition, difficulties catalyst recovery reuse. The coupling of biocatalysis with membrane technology enzyme-membrane reactors (EMRs) holds potential process intensification, it paves the way continuous-flow synthesis concatenated product purification biocatalyst recovery. By allowing flow hybrid processes (i.e., simultaneous biocatalytic reactions operations via one-pot methods), EMRs have increase reaction yields kinetics reduce downstream processing requirements.

Oxygenases catalyze C-H oxyfunctionalization under mild reaction conditions and often display outstanding selectivity. However, their utilization is hampered by the difficulty of transporting oxygen across gas-liquid interface, which particularly problematic for continuous reactor systems can only be alleviated high pressure or use complex oxygen-permeable materials.

Heterocyclic amines are a key structural motif for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals (e.g., antibiotics) as well pesticides and flavors. In this regard, imine reductases (IREDs) have recently emerged highly selective sustainable alternative asymmetric reductive amination reactions. Herein, we applied six IREDs, two which were newly identified, in reduction heterocyclic imines with either N, S, or O substitution at C-4.
