Brook Street, Louisville, Kentucky 40292, United States* Email: david. leahy@ biohavenpharma. com; sachin. handa@ louisville. edu Nanotechnology has revolutionized many areas of science, including sustainable catalysis. It has uniquely contributed to sustainable and greener organic synthesis, enabling powerful catalysis in greener media, including water and other sustainable solvents. 1-4 To highlight the recent advancements in the field, we organized a special issue on nanocatalysis. In this thematic issue, we covered efficient nanocatalysis using earth-abundant metals and low loading of precious metals, hybrid metal nanocatalysis in sustainable media, biocatalysis, and electronanocatalysis. We invited contributions that clearly demonstrate the discovery, development, and application of the above technologies, where their merit related to sustainably is clearly articulated. All manuscripts passed through rigorous peer review, following the policies of Curr. Opin. Green Sustain. Chem.Many organic molecules in high demand require better synthetic methods, and biocatalysis and nanocatalysis have contributed significantly to meeting sustainable demand-supply challenges. Likewise, the continued growth in the application of noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) in drug discovery necessitates their efficient, sustainable, and scalable production, granting access to new chemical entities. Related to this topic, Arnold, Alfonzo, and Das describe the biocatalytic synthesis of ncAAs. These amino acids merge the conformational behavior and native interactions of proteinogenic amino acids with nonnative chemical motifs and have proven valuable in developing modern therapeutics. In this mini review, the authors extended the biocatalyst arsenal for synthesizing ncAAs with natural enzymes. For more details, see: https://doi. org/10.1016/j. cogsc. 2022.100701. The same special issue covers nanoparticles in sustainable reaction media, such as water and deep eutectic solvents. Water has a lot to offer in terms of better and cleaner chemistry. However, its usage as a reaction medium has not reached its full potential. Harnessing the compartmentalization effect, micellar catalysis enabled chemistry in water. Lipshutz and co-workers showcased the synthesis and applications of nanoparticles of iron-containing ppm levels of palladium. In this article, the authors only covered the work from their lab, although several other researchers have contributed significantly to the same field. The authors have described the sustainable Suzuki–Miyaura, Sonogashira, Mizoroki–Heck, and Negishi couplings catalyzed by ligated iron ppm palladium nanoparticles. In addition, nitro group reductions and click reactions in water are also discussed. More details can be found in the arti-cle: https://doi. org/10.1016/j. cogsc. 2022.100686. Along the same lines, Gallou and co-workers have showcased nanocatal-ysis in the pharmaceutical industry. While describing nanoca-talysis, the authors have critically showcased the use of
