Enantiodivergent Organocascade Reactions

摘要

Nature is superior when it comes to performing enzyme-catalyzed cascade reactions, and such course of reaction is in sharp contrast to classical multistep, often lengthy and tedious, organic synthesis. Not surprisingly, the use of enzymes in organic synthesis has increased tremendously over the last few years. Besides performing single-step transformations, the combination of multiple enzymes, for example, in a so-called bionanoreactor, has been used to perform cascade reactions.
