Description
Summary:Enzyme reactions are among the most environmentally friendly and important asymmetric reactions for organic synthesis. Candida Antarctica lipase B (CALB) is one of the most extensively utilized enzymes for various asymmetric reactions. It catalyzes a variety of asymmetric reactions, such as hydrolysis, esterification, and amidation. However, as the studies of desymmetrization reactions of symmetric compounds catalyzed by CALB is rather limited, this commentary focuses on some recent examples of desymmetrization reactions mediated by CALB.
