Description
Biotransformations have developed into an important tool of organic synthesis. Most synthetic sequences will benefit from the use of a biotransformation step, and the use of multiple enzyme single pot reactions enables several steps to be telescoped together. Volumes 8a and b provide a comprehensive guide to the established and emerging uses of enzymes. Each chapter is devoted to a single class of transformation so that the competing possibilities can be readily compared, and there is a strong emphasis on practical and reliable reactions.
