Lipase catalysed kinetic resolution of racemic 1,2-diols containing a chiral quaternary center [PDF]
, 2018 Optically active 1,2-diols are valuable buildings blocks in organic synthesis. In the present paper, a set of racemic 1,2-diols with an ester functional group are prepared, starting from -ketoesters in a three-step procedure with moderate yields.

Chemical Metabolomics: Chemical Biology Tools for Advanced Metabolism Investigations
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.The human metabolism has been investigated for several millennia. The metabolome is known for a high complexity due to a large number of different metabolites that are present at different concentrations. Metabolomics has been developed as a field to investigate the entire human metabolome and to elucidate disease development mechanisms.

Stereoselective Biotransformation: Transfer of Learning to Advance Drug Metabolism and Biocatalysis
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Understanding stereoselective biotransformations has implications for predicting drug disposition and response and may also inspire novel biocatalytic and biomimetic strategies to address challenges in metabolite and API synthesis. ABSTRACT Chirality is an important determinant of drug action, as enantiomers can exhibit markedly different ...
