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...

Controlling five stereocentres in one go😎 Extremely excited to finally share our work from the O’Reilly group in UCD on the assembly of chiral heterocycles via a DKR cascade🙌🏻

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...
