Biocatalysis is a branch of catalysis that exploits enzymes to perform highly stereoselective chemical transformations under mild and sustainable conditions. This Synpact highlights how biocatalysis can be used in the synthesis of chiral 1,3-mercaptoalkan
Mild Cu-Catalyzed Oxidation of Benzylic Boronic Esters to Ketones

The oxidation of benzylic boronic esters directly to the ketone is reported. This mild Cu-catalyzed method uses an ambient atmosphere of air as the terminal oxidant and is notably chemoselective. Oxidation of the C-B bond occurs selectively, even in the presence of unprotected alcohols. Initial investigation suggests the reaction proceeds through an alkylboron to Cu transmetalation, peroxide formation, and rearrangement to give the carbonyl.

The kinetics and mechanism of the thermally activated dynamic covalent exchange of thiol-Michael adducts is investigated. A model system of thiol-Michael adducts between thiophenol and phenylvinylketone derivatives and adducts between 2-mercaptoethanol phenylvinylketone derivatives in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at elevated temperatures is used to probe the underlying exchange mechanism. The kinetic data show negligible free Michael acceptor, which is consistent with the highly efficient thiol-Michael reaction being a "click"-like reaction that significantly favors the adduct form. At elevated temperatures of 90 °C in DMF the thiol-Michael adducts reach equilibrium after 24 h, although equilibration did not occur within 24 h at 60 °C or 75 °C, and negligible exchange occurs under ambient conditions. A kinetic model was developed to describe the dynamic covalent exchange and equilibration. The experimental and simulation kinetic data of dynamic covalent exchange are consistent with the thiol-Michael adducts undergoing a retro-Michael reaction, followed by subsequent addition of a free thiol to the liberated Michael acceptor. Kinetic analysis is consistent with the fragmentation, or retro-Michael reaction, being the rate-determining step in the dynamic covalent exchange. This suggests that the key step in dynamic covalent exchange is not enhanced by addition of free thiol or free Michael acceptor, since the addition reaction is much faster than the retro-Michael reaction. This fundamental study will guide the design of organic compounds, materials, and bioconjugates that utilize the thermally activated dynamic covalent thiol-Michael linkages.
Photo-biocatalytic One-Pot Cascades for the Enantioselective Synthesis of 1,3-Mercaptoalkanol Volatile Sulfur Compounds

The synthesis of enantiomerically pure 1,3-mercaptoalkanol volatile sulfur compounds through a one-pot photo-biocatalytic cascade reaction is described. Two new KRED biocatalysts with opposite enantioselectivity were discovered and proved to be efficient
Heterobimetallic Pd-Sn catalysis: Michael addition reaction with C-, N-, O-, and S-nucleophiles and in situ diagnostics

An efficient Michael addition reaction of differently substituted enones with carbon, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen nucleophiles has been achieved by a new heterobimetallic "Pd-Sn" catalyst system. The nature of the catalytically relevant species and their
