Abstract

Supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) has been used as a sol- vent for organic synthesis due to its environmental friendliness, high diffusivity that increases the rate of diffusion-limited reac- tions, ease of product separation from solvents, etc.1 As a cata- lyst for reactions, chemical catalysts have been widely used.1 Al- though not as extensively as chemical catalysts, biocatalysts have also been used due to high chemo-, regio-, and enantiose- lectivities and high ...
