Biocatalytic asymmetric reduction of C=C and C=O bonds is highly attractive to produce valuable (chiral) chemicals for the fine and pharmaceutical industry, yet occurs at the expense of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide coenzyme NADPH that requires recycling. Established

Enantioenriched azido alcohols are precursors for valuable chiral aziridines and 1,2-amino alcohols, however their chiral substituted analogues are difficult to access. We established a cascade for the asymmetric azidohydroxylation of styrene derivatives leading to chiral substit

Regioselective aromatic hydroxylation is desirable for the production of valuable compounds. External flavin-containing monooxygenases activate and selectively incorporate an oxygen atom in phenolic compounds through flavin reduction by the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide coenz

Enzymatic alcoholysis of alkoxymethyl alkanoates
A possible approach for the kinetic resolution of tertiary alcohols
The pivaloyloxymethyl and butanoyloxymethyl derivatives of tert-butanol and linalool (1.4) are readily accepted by hydrolases. Linalool derivative 4b is alcoholysed stereoselectively by Candida rugosa lipase (E=9.7).@en
