Using iron bipyridine or phenanthroline complexes 1 as redox catalysts it was possible to electrochemically generate NAD(P)⁺ from NAD(P)H very efficiently.Electrochemically driven enzymatic oxidations of the test systems 2-hexen-1-ol and 2-butanol could be performed with 1e as redox catalyst in presence of yeast alcohol dehydogenase (YADH) or the alcohol dehydrogenase of thermoanaerobium brockii (TADH) with turnover numbers of about 40/h.
