11: Enzyme-Catalyzed Asymmetric Reactions
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
- 11.2: Formation of Carbon-Carbon Bonds
- Biocatalysts are turned out to be versatile catalysts for carbon-carbon bond forming and reduction reactions in organic synthesis. Carbon-carbon bond formation belongs to the heart of organic synthesis. The biocatalyzed route provides effective tool for the construction of carbon-carbon with excellent enantioselectivity.
- 11.3: Reduction Reactions
- The enantioselective reduction of C=X double bonds (X = O, NR, C) to C-XH single bonds plays a major role in asymmetric synthesis.
