This Review is aimed at synthetic organic chemists who may be familiar with organometallic
catalysis but have no experience with biocatalysis, and seeks to provide an answer to the …

Enzymes as catalysts in synthetic organic chemistry gained importance in the latter half of
the 20th century, but nevertheless suffered from two major limitations. First, many enzymes …

In the period 1985 to 1995 applications of biocatalysis, driven by the need for more
sustainable manufacture of chemicals and catalytic,(enantio) selective methods for the …

The formation of C–N bonds—of great importance to the pharmaceutical industry—can be
facilitated enzymatically using nucleophilic and nitrene transfer mechanisms. However …

Chemoenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) constitutes a convenient and efficient
method to access enantiomerically pure alcohol and amine derivatives. This Perspective …

Enantiomerically pure chiral amines are valuable building blocks for the synthesis of
pharmaceutical drugs and agrochemicals. Indeed it is estimated that currently 40% of …

This first book to focus on catalytic processes from the viewpoint of green chemistry presents
every important aspect:? Numerous catalytic reductions and oxidations methods? Solid-acid …

Alcohols can be temporarily converted into carbonyl compounds by the metal‐catalysed
removal of hydrogen. The carbonyl compounds are reactive in a wider range of …

Shvo's catalyst is a cyclopentadienone-ligated ruthenium complex,{[Ph4 (η5-C4CO)] 2H]}
Ru2 (CO) 4 (µ-H)(1, Scheme 1), that is a generally useful catalyst for transfer hydrogenation …

Interest in green chemistry and clean processes has grown so much in recent years that
topics such as fluorous biphasic catalysis, metal organic frameworks, and process …
