In view of the importance of these molecules in the synthesis of organic compounds,
arylidene pyruvates (1, R= Ar) have been considered as worthy of a general review, starting …

This review highlights the importance of the biocatalyst, Candida parapsilosis for oxidation
and reduction reactions of organic compounds and establishes its versatility to generate a …

A highly enantioselective one pot, novel biocatalytic method for the asymmetric reduction of
aryl imines is reported. Treatment of aryl imines with Candida parapsilosis ATCC 7330 in …

Two complementary strategies have been developed for the C-and O-allylation of phenols
via a common π-allyl Pd complex. While O-allylation of phenols by this method is a well …

Candida parapsilosis ATCC 7330 was found to be an efficient biocatalyst for the
deracemisation of aryl α-hydroxy esters (65–85% yield and 90–99% ee). A variety of aryl …

A facile and simple one-pot method was developed to produce a series of optically active (S)-
1-phenyl-1, 2-ethanediols with good yields (up to 70%) and high enantiomeric excess (> …

Human carbonyl reductase (CBR1) reduces carbonyl groups in drug molecules, particularly
anticancer drugs, leading to altered pharmacological effects. This study reports a simple and …

The use of oxidoreductases as biocatalysts for the production of a wide number of chiral
building blocks is presently a mature (bio-) technology. In this context some industrial …

The combination of hydrosilanes with a Brønsted or Lewis acid as a promoter can be used
for the reagent‐controlled chemoselective reduction at room temperature of conjugated C …

Candida parapsilosis ATCC 7330, a rich source of highly stereospecific oxidoreductases,
catalyzes oxidation–reduction of a plethora of compounds yielding industrially important …
