Abstract
This review highlights major developments in the application of green organocatalytic and enzymatic dynamic kinetic resolutions (DKRs) in the total synthesis of biorelevant scaffolds. It illustrates the diversity of useful bioactive products and intermediates that can be synthesized under greener and more economic conditions through the combination of the powerful concept of DKR, which allows the resolution of racemic compounds with up to 100% yield, with either asymmetric organocatalysis or enzymatic catalysis, avoiding the use of toxic and expensive metals. With the need for more ecologic synthetic technologies, this field will undoubtedly expand its scope in the future with the employment of other organocatalysts/enzymes to even more types of transformations, thus allowing powerful greener and more economic strategies to reach other biologically important molecules.
期刊介绍:
Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry is a forum for the review of areas of keen and topical interest to medicinal chemists and others in the allied disciplines. Each issue is solely devoted to a specific topic, containing six to nine reviews, which provide the reader a comprehensive survey of that area. A Guest Editor who is an expert in the topic under review, will assemble each issue. The scope of Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry will cover all areas of medicinal chemistry, including current developments in rational drug design, synthetic chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, high-throughput screening, combinatorial chemistry, compound diversity measurements, drug absorption, drug distribution, metabolism, new and emerging drug targets, natural products, pharmacogenomics, and structure-activity relationships. Medicinal chemistry is a rapidly maturing discipline. The study of how structure and function are related is absolutely essential to understanding the molecular basis of life. Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry aims to contribute to the growth of scientific knowledge and insight, and facilitate the discovery and development of new therapeutic agents to treat debilitating human disorders. The journal is essential for every medicinal chemist who wishes to be kept informed and up-to-date with the latest and most important advances.
