Novel biocatalytic routes for the synthesis of small cyclic molecules

The catalytical asymmetric reduction of small cyclic prochiral ketones with the formation of optically pure alcohols and amines is a fundamentally important reaction in synthetic organic chemistry. However, achieving selectivity using traditional synthetic methodology is challenging, particularly wh...
