Abstract
Fairy chemicals (FCs), such as 2-azahypoxanthine (AHX), are a potential new class of plant hormones that are naturally present in plants and produced via a novel purine metabolic pathway. FCs support plant resilience against various stresses and regulate plant growth. In this study, we developed a four-step method for synthesising AHX from 2-cyanoacetamide, achieving a good yield. Oxime was obtained from 2-cyanoacetamide via the oximation reaction. Cascade-type one-pot selective Pt/C-catalysed reduction of oxime, followed by a coupling reaction with formamidine acetate, yielded intermediate 5-amino-1H-imidazole-4-carboxamide (AICA). For the synthesis of AICA from oxime, we used modern fine bubble technology, affording AICA in 69% yield. Subsequently, we synthesised 4-diazo-4H-imidazole-5-carboxamide (DICA) from AICA via the diazotisation reaction. Notably, the synthesis of DICA from AICA was achieved, and the stability of previously known less stable DICA in the solid state was confirmed. Finally, PhI(OAc)2 (0.5 mol%) catalysed the intramolecular cyclisation of DICA in the green solvent water to yield AHX (overall yield of 47%). This study's innovative techniques and substantial discoveries highlight its potential influence and significance in FC science, thereby establishing a new standard for subsequent research.

Abstract
Biocatalytic oxidation is an interesting prospect for the selective synthesis of active pharmaceutical intermediates. Bubbling air or oxygen is considered as an efficient method to increase the gas-liquid interface and thereby enhance oxygen transfer. However, the enzyme is deactivated in this process and needs to be further studied and understood to accelerate the implementation of oxidative biocatalysis in larger production processes. This paper reports data on the stability of NAD(P)H oxidase (NOX) when exposed to different gas-liquid interfaces introduced by N2 (0% oxygen), air (21% oxygen), and O2 (100% oxygen) in a bubble column. A pH increase was observed during gas bubbling, with the highest increase occurring under air bubbling from 6.28 to 7.40 after 60 h at a gas flow rate of 0.15 L min-1. The kinetic stability of NOX was studied under N2, air, and O2 bubbling by measuring the residual activity, the deactivation constants (kd1) were 0.2972, 0.0244, and 0.0346 with the corresponding half-lives of 2.2, 28.6, and 20.2 h, respectively. A decrease in protein concentration of the NOX solution was also observed and was attributed to likely enzyme aggregation at the gas-liquid interface. Most aggregation occurred at the air-water interface and decreased greatly from 100 to 14.16% after 60 h of bubbling air. Furthermore, the effect of the gas-liquid interface and the dissolved gas on the NOX deactivation process was also studied by bubbling N2 and O2 alternately. It was found that the N2-water interface and O2-water interface both had minor effects on the protein concentration decrease compared with the air-water interface, whilst the dissolved N2 in water caused serious deactivation of NOX. This was attributed not only to the NOX unfolding and aggregation at the interface but also to the N2 occupying the oxygen channel of the enzyme and the resultant inaccessibility of dissolved O2 to the active site of NOX. These results shed light on the enzyme deactivation process and might further inspire bioreactor operation and enzyme engineering to improve biocatalyst performance.
