Abstract
Chiral Amines
The cover art (designed by Dr. Paweł Borowiecki and illustrated by Dr. Paulina Marek-Urban) depicts a light-driven biocatalytic cascade uniting photochemistry and enzymatic transformation in a single reaction vessel. Blue LED light initiates photooxidation, followed by asymmetric transamination—symbolized by the flow from light to enzyme. This seamless one-pot process enables the synthesis of enantiopure amines, exemplified by the chiral intermediate en route to the cardiomyopathy drug mavacamten. More information can be found in article number 2500250 by Paweł Borowiecki and co-workers.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis (ASC) is the leading primary journal in organic, organometallic, and applied chemistry.
The high impact of ASC can be attributed to the unique focus of the journal, which publishes exciting new results from academic and industrial labs on efficient, practical, and environmentally friendly organic synthesis. While homogeneous, heterogeneous, organic, and enzyme catalysis are key technologies to achieve green synthesis, significant contributions to the same goal by synthesis design, reaction techniques, flow chemistry, and continuous processing, multiphase catalysis, green solvents, catalyst immobilization, and recycling, separation science, and process development are also featured in ASC. The Aims and Scope can be found in the Notice to Authors or on the first page of the table of contents in every issue.
