Phosphine Organocatalysis [PDF]
The hallmark of nucleophilic phosphine catalysis is the initial nucleophilic addition of a phosphine to an electrophilic starting material, producing a reactive zwitterionic intermediate, generally under mild conditions. In this Review, we classify nucleophilic phosphine catalysis reactions in terms of their electrophilic components. In the majority of

Whole Cells as Biocatalysts in Organic Transformations
Currently, the power and usefulness of biocatalysis in organic synthesis is undeniable, mainly due to the very high enantiomeric excess reached using enzymes, in an attempt to emulate natural processes.

Asymmetric Conjugate Hydrocyanation of α,β-Unsaturated Aldehydes Catalyzed by Engineered 2-Deoxy-D-ribose-5-phosphate Aldolase. [PDF]
The power of catalytic promiscuity: The enantioselective conjugate hydrocyanation of enals remains a long‐standing challenge for biocatalysis. Here, we report the redesign of 2‐deoxy‐D‐ribose‐5‐phosphate aldolase for the asymmetric conjugate hydrocyanation of aromatic enals, expanding the reaction scope of iminium‐based enzyme catalysis to include an ...
