This is a review of papers published in the year 2015 that focus on the synthesis, reactivity,
or properties of compounds containing a carbon-transition metal double or triple bond …

The possible biogenetic connection of the 10‐membered lactone (decanolide) and the
tricyclic [5, 5]‐spiroacetal‐cis‐fused‐γ‐lactone (SAFL) natural products was proposed by …

Different enzymatic and nonenzymatic approaches were tested and compared to afford
enantiopure homoallylic and allylic alcohols as building blocks in a total synthesis …

The synthesis and antibacterial activity of two new highly truncated derivatives of the natural
product abyssomicin C are reported. This work outlines the limits of structural truncation of …

The limitations of an alcohol dehydrogenase regarding the oxidative kinetic resolution of
homoallylic alcohol containing alkyl chains were investigated, leading to a valuable building …

Ten-membered lactones are commonly observed structures of natural products. They are
mostly fungal metabolites, which often act as plant pathogens, but recently ten-membered …

A convergent, formal enantioselective synthesis of pinolide, a new nonenolide, has been
achieved with high enantiomeric purity (99% ee) starting from readily available raw …

Enzyme werden seit über 100 Jahren erfolgreich in der Synthesechemie und im Rahmen
von fermentativen Prozessen sogar seit Jahrtausenden von der Menschheit eingesetzt.[1] In …
