The review compiles artificial cascades involving enzymes with a focus on the last 10 years.
A cascade is defined as the combination of at least two reaction steps in a single reaction …

When challenged by a difficult reduction reaction, a chemist should always also consider
biocatalysis in synthesis planning. The inherent selectivity of enzymes has been known for …

During the recent past years, tremendous efforts have been made to establish
enantioselective routes for the preparation of enantiomerically pure compounds due to their …

Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs), which belong to the oxidoreductase superfamily, catalyze
the interconversion between alcohols and aldehydes or ketones with high stereoselectivity …

Green chemistry aims to minimize the environmental hazards of chemical processes and
their products. Ever since its introduction by Anastas,[1] this principle has inspired …

The first catalytic enantioselective ring-opening reaction of donor–acceptor cyclopropanes
with water is described. By employing Cy-TOX/Cu (II) as catalyst, the reaction performed …

Described is an efficient heterologous expression system for Sulfolobus solfataricus ADH-10
(Alcohol Dehydrogenase isozyme 10) and its use in the dynamic reductive kinetic resolution …

Over the past two decades, the domains of both frontline synthetic organic chemistry and
process chemistry have seen an increase in crosstalk between asymmetric organic …

Sonnenanbeter: Ein gekoppeltes Photokatalysator‐Enzym‐System als neuartiges
künstliches Photosynthesesystem sammelt Solarenergie nach dem Vorbild von …

A simple and novel chemoenzymatic route has been applied for the first time in the synthesis
of miconazole and econazole single enantiomers. Lipases and oxidoreductases have been …
