• laccase-ABTS follows an electron transfer (ET) mechanism, NHPI, VLA, HBT, and NHAmediators promote a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) route through the formation of the corresponding N-oxyl radicals as NHDs-Medox species (Scheme 11). The same research group also emphasized the specialization of mediators

In this case, the mechanism follows a radical chain via classical HAT by PINO abstraction (Scheme 17). Aldehydes and the

• of molecular bromine as a co-catalyst [68] (Scheme 24). According to the proposed mechanism, Br2 generates ET processes by oxidizing the o-phenanthroline to the corresponding cation radicals. The latter promote in turn ET and HAT processes with NHPI, leading to the formation of PINO. In 2009 the same

It is seen from Figure 6 hat the production of
