Abstract:
In recent years, there has been a rapid and sustained increase in the development and use of one-pot chemoenzymatic reaction processes for the efficient synthesis of high-value molecules. This strategy can provide a number of advantages over traditional synthetic methods, including high levels of selectivity in reactions, mild and sustainable reaction conditions, and the ability to rapidly build molecular complexity in a single reaction vessel. Here, we present several examples of chemoenzymatic one-pot reaction sequences that demonstrate the diversity of transformations that can be incorporated in these processes.
