Abstract: The use of biocatalysts as enzymes and/or whole cells, offers a remarkable arsenal of highly selective transformations in preparative organic chemistry. A large number of synthetically useful reactions can be catalysed by enzymes in a highly selective manner. This book pinpoints the chemo-, regio- and stereoselective transformations which have been shown to be most useful as an alternative to the already existing methods for stereoselective synthesis. The types of reaction covered inter alia are: hydrolysis-condensation, redox-reactions, addition-elimination, carbon-carbon bond formation, halogenation, etc. Special techniques, such as enzyme-immobilization and the use of biocatalysts in organic solvents are introduced to the newcomer. This is the first approach to provide a condensed introduction into this field written from the viewpoint of an organic chemist. This professional referencebook on Biotransformations in Organic Chemistry is aimed at graduate students in Organic Chemistry and Biotechnology, scientists and professionals who want to use the powerful synthetic tool of enzymes for modern preparative organic chemistry.

Selective acylation of the phenolic hydroxyl of (hydroxyalkyl)phenols by using vinyl carboxylates as acyl donors in the presence of rubidium fluoride
TL;DR: Highly selective acylation of the phenolic hydroxy group can be achieved with (hydroxyalkyl)phenols carrying both alcoholic and phenolic hydroxyls by the use of vinyl carboxylates as acyl donors in the presence of rubidium fluoride.

Ulrich Sohling,Paul Bubenheim,Kirstin Suck +2 more
- 18 Feb 2013
TL;DR: In this article, a method for degumming raw oils using a composition comprising at least one phospholipid-cleaving enzyme was proposed. But the method was not suitable for degaining raw oils.

Highly regioselective enzymatic synthesis of polymerizable derivatives of methyl shikimate.
TL;DR: Lipase acrylic resin from Candida antarctica and immobilized lipase from Mucor miehei showed high regioselectivity toward the secondary hydroxyl of methyl shikimate, which presents three hydroxol groups with similar reactivity.

Lipase-catalyzed acylation in a continuous down-flow fixed-bed reactor
TL;DR: In this article, the kinetic resolution of racemic 1-phenylethanol with ethyl acetate was investigated in a down-flow fixed-bed reactor operated in a continuous mode mainly at the molar ratio of 1: 3 in 400 mL toluene at 70°C.
