In general, hydrogen peroxide is a stable and relatively mild oxidant and it can be regarded as the ultimate
“green” reagent because water and oxygen are the only by-products. Besides the direct application of
H2O2 in chemical processes more and more enzymatic syntheses based on hydrogen peroxide were
developed. Different types of reactions can be addressed by using a hydrogen-peroxide driven biocataly-
sis (e.g. hydroxylations, epoxidations, sulfoxidations, halogenations, Baeyer–Villiger oxidations, decarboxy-
lations). H2O2-driven reactions can often be used to substitute NAD(P)H dependent reactions. Therefore,
laborious cofactor regeneration systems can be avoided by using H2O2-dependent enzymes. The tre-
mendous increase in the number of publications dealing with this type of reactions clearly demonstrates
the progress in this area in recent years. The described innovations range from new enzymes and types of

Vanadium-dependent haloperoxidases contain, as suggested
by their name, a Vanadium(V) ion, more specifically a vanadate
prosthetic group responsible for H2O2-activation and oxidation
of the halide substrates (Scheme 5).27 In the presence of H2O2
the vanadate group forms a peroxo complex, in which one of
the peroxo-oxygen-atoms is attacked by a nucleophilic halide
ion leading to the corresponding hypohalous acid, being
released from the enzyme active site and restoring the resting
state of the enzyme.
One major advantage of V-dependent haloperoxidases com-

lies in their much higher robustness against H2O2.47 On the
other hand, a major disadvantage of these enzymes is that
hypohalous acids (the products of V-dependent peroxidases)
diffuse out of the enzymes’ active sites and undergo unspecific
chemical transformations. As a consequence, any influence
exerted by the enzyme can be excluded and the selectivity of
the reactions is dictated by the chemical reactivity of the
