Abstract
Enzyme-catalyzed chemistry (biocatalysis) is widely used across many industry sectors in large-scale processes. The possibility of environmentally friendly chemical reactions carried out under mild conditions with high degrees of selectivity has proved attractive in developing manufacturing processes. A number of such reactions are discussed in the industrial context with examples of a variety of reaction types. All processes presented have been implemented in the production of commercial products and provide a feel for the versatility of this technology.

Enzymatic Resolution and Separation of Secondary Alcohols Based on Fatty Esters as Acylating Agents
Carlos M. Monteiro and Carlos A. M. Afonso, Nuno M. T. LourençoJournal of Chemical Education2010 87 (4), 423-425Enzymatic Resolution and Separation of Secondary Alcohols Based on Fatty Esters as Acylating Agents
Carlos M. Monteiro and Carlos A. M. Afonso, Nuno M. T. LourençoJournal of Chemical Education2010 87 (4), 423-425The enzymatic resolution of rac-1-phenylethanol using ethyl myristate as acylating agent and solvent and Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL-B) as biocatalyst was demonstrated with catalyst and medium reuse. Both enantiomers of 1-phenylethanol were isolated ...
Differentiations of Enantiomers via Their Diastereomeric Association Complexes—There Are Two Ways of Shaking Hands
Albrecht Mannschreck and Roland KiesswetterJournal of Chemical Education2005 82 (7), 1034Differentiations of Enantiomers via Their Diastereomeric Association Complexes—There Are Two Ways of Shaking Hands
Albrecht Mannschreck and Roland KiesswetterJournal of Chemical Education2005 82 (7), 1034The intermolecular interactions of one enantiomer with a chiral auxiliary molecule and the interactions of the other enantiomer with the auxiliary are considered. Different functions of the latter give rise to the following well-known aspects of organic ...
Synthesis of a Racemic Ester and Its Lipase-Catalyzed Kinetic Resolution
Delia Stetca , Isabel W. C. E. Arends and Ulf HanefeldJournal of Chemical Education2002 79 (11), 1351Synthesis of a Racemic Ester and Its Lipase-Catalyzed Kinetic Resolution
Delia Stetca , Isabel W. C. E. Arends and Ulf HanefeldJournal of Chemical Education2002 79 (11), 1351A first-year organic chemistry laboratory experiment is described in which an enzyme is utilized for the kinetic resolution of a racemic ester. In the first step, the racemic ester is synthesized from racemic 1-phenylethanol and acetic anhydride in the ...
Chiral Compounds and Green Chemistry in Undergraduate Organic Laboratories: Reduction of a Ketone by Sodium Borohydride and Baker's Yeast
Nicola Pohl , Allen Clague and Kimberly SchwarzJournal of Chemical Education2002 79 (6), 727Chiral Compounds and Green Chemistry in Undergraduate Organic Laboratories: Reduction of a Ketone by Sodium Borohydride and Baker's Yeast
Nicola Pohl , Allen Clague and Kimberly SchwarzJournal of Chemical Education2002 79 (6), 727We describe an integrated set of experiments for the undergraduate organic laboratory that allows students to compare and contrast biological and chemical means of introducing chirality into a molecule. The racemic reduction of ethyl acetoacetate with ...
