Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Using a ketal‐protected glycerol derivative (solketal) as the oxidation substrate enables site‐selective electrooxidation that suppresses C–C cleavage on non‐noble catalysts. Highly alkaline conditions promote reactive solketal alkoxide formation, weaken the Cα─H bond to facilitate dehydrogenation, and buffer local acidification, enabling a record‐high

Environmental Identification of Novel Enzymes for Polyurethane and Polyamide Degradation
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Heteroatom‐containing plastics such as polyurethanes and nylons are produced at scale yet remain largely unrecycled. Biocatalysts offer a promising route to depolymerization under mild conditions. Here, we present a screening platform for the discovery of novel polyurethane‐ and nylon‐degrading enzymes from environmental samples and demonstrate ...

Enhanced Formation of Dicarboxylic Acids in the Catalytic Oxidation of Polyethylene With O2 and NOx
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.The oxidation of polyethylene in the presence of a mixture of O2 and NOx and with Cu2+/V5+ as catalyst yields ∼51 mol% diacids, while retaining ∼80 mol% of the carbon in the oil fraction. The developed method is robust and tolerates several polymer types as well as impurities.

Attractive Ni…O Interactions Enable Non‐Alternating Ethylene‐Carbon Monoxide Copolymerization
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Attractive Ni···O interactions are established in phosphine‐imidated and phosphine‐phenolate nickel catalysts, enabling non‐alternating ethylene‐carbon monoxide copolymerization, resulting in superior CO tolerance, productivity and stability compared to the state‐of‐the‐art benchmark.

On‐Demand Deconstructable Thermosets Through Cleavable Comonomer and Thermolatent Base Synergy
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Thermosets, valued for their chemical and mechanical properties, resist recycling due to their cross‐linked structure. Weak bonds via comonomers enable degradability, but diffusion limits effectiveness. We incorporate thermolatent bases before polymerization (thermal or 3D‐VAT printing).
