Abstract
In recent years, there has been a rapid and sustained increase in the development
and use of one-pot chemoenzymatic reaction processes for the efficient synthesis of
high-value molecules. This strategy can provide a number of advantages over traditional
synthetic methods, including high levels of selectivity in reactions, mild and sustainable
reaction conditions, and the ability to rapidly build molecular complexity in a single
reaction vessel. Here, we present several examples of chemoenzymatic one-pot reaction
sequences that demonstrate the diversity of transformations that can be incorporated
in these processes.
