Transaminase‐Triggered Cascades for the Synthesis and Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of Chiral N‐Heterocycles
A single-step biocatalytic route to complex indolizidine and quinolizidine alkaloids is described that relies on transaminase-triggered double intramolecular aza-Michael methodology. In one case, a r...

Pleased to share our pre-print on using ene reductases to synthesise chiral thioethers: doi.org/10.26434/che...
Asymmetric Enantio-Complementary Synthesis of Thioethers via Ene-Reductase Catalysed C-C bond formation
Enzymes are attractive catalysts due to their high chemo-, regio-, and enantio-selectivity. In recent years the application of enzymes in organic synthesis has expanded dramatically, especially for th...
