Issue 12 of Green Chemistry is now available to read online.
The front cover this month (pictured left) features work by Peter C. K. Lau and co-workers from Quebec, Canada. In their work they engineer sinapic acid decarboxylaseas an alternative to chemistry-based or thermal decarboxylation to produce canolol from canola meal.

The inside front cover this month (pictured right) features work by Joerg Schrittwieser, Frank Hollmann and co-workers from Deltf, The Netherlands. In their work they show how the one-pot combination of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and palladium nanoparticle (Pd-NP) catalysis provides access to aromatic 1,2-amino alcohols in high yields and excellent optical purities.
