Abstract
Microwave technology, together with enzymatic catalysis is a nature-friendly chemical synthesis method with low wastage of solvent and good yield of the products.
Enzymes from various microorganisms can be used in the biochemical processes of a wide range of compounds assisted by microwave irradiation
In this work, the microwave-induced reaction of α-keto β-lactams by Baker's yeast in organic solvent was conducted to afford optically active cis and trans-α-hydroxy-β-lactams for the first time.
These hydroxy compounds are the precursors of numerous natural products of medicinal significances.
