Chemo-Enzymatic Cascade Reactions

This book will focus on biocatalytic-chemical cascade reactions and their application in the synthesis of valuable chemicals. It covers the following topics: 1) Advantages and disadvantages of traditional chemical reactions and biocatalytic reactions; 2) The three modes of chemo-enzymatic transformations: separate-pot-two-step, one-pot-two-step and one-pot-one-step; 3) The current advances of chemo-enzymatic transformations organized by the three modes and types of enzymes; 4) Retro-synthesis based on both chemical and biocatalytic transformations and the synthetic applications; 5) Perspective of this cooperative biocatalytic-chemical synthetic technology. This book systematically presents the state-of-art, the opportunities and challenges of this field. It will help the readers to understand the importance, current advances, the opportunities and challenges of cooperative chemo-enzymatic synthetic technology and stimulate their interest in this field.
