چکیده
This review is focused on advances over the last several years in the application of aldolases to organic synthesis. Several new technologies have been implemented to increase the scope and practicality of aldolases as tools for the synthetic chemist. These include directed evolution, discovery of new classes of aldolases in nature and the laboratory, and substrate and reaction engineering.

متن کاملBrønsted acid activation strategy in transition-metal catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of N-unprotected imines, enamines, and N-heteroaromatic compounds.
Asymmetric hydrogenation plays an important role in organic synthesis, but that of the challenging substrates such as N-unprotected imines, enamines, and N-heteroaromatic compounds (1H-indoles, 1H-pyrroles, pyridines, quinolines, and quinoxalines) has only received increased attention in the past three years. Considering the interaction modes of a Brønsted acid with a Lewis base, Brønsted acids...
متن کاملGram scale synthesis of 3-fluoro-1-hydroxyacetone phosphate: a novel donor substrate in rabbit muscle aldolase-catalyzed aldol reactions.
An efficient gram scale synthesis of 3-fluoro-1-hydroxyacetone phosphate (FHAP) has been developed. As a close analog to dihydroxyacetone phosphate, FHAP was used as a novel donor substrate for rabbit muscle aldolase catalyzed reactions. The different binding affinities of the gem-diol and keto form of FHAP were studied by (19)F-NMR.
متن کاملRecent advances in copper-catalyzed asymmetric coupling reactions
Copper-catalyzed (or -mediated) asymmetric coupling reactions have received significant attention over the past few years. Especially the coupling reactions of aryl or alkyl halides with nucleophiles became a very powerful tool for the formation of C-C, C-N, C-O and other carbon-heteroatom bonds as well as for the construction of heteroatom-containing ring systems. This review summarizes the re...
متن کاملThe Construction of All-Carbon Quaternary Stereocenters by Use of Pd-Catalyzed Asymmetric Allylic Alkylation Reactions in Total Synthesis.
All-carbon quaternary stereocenters have posed significant challenges in the synthesis of complex natural products. These important structural motifs have inspired the development of broadly applicable palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation reactions of unstabilized non-biased enolates for the synthesis of enantioenriched α-quaternary products. This microreview outlines key considera...
