The last 15 years have witnessed significant developments in the
efficiency and scope of the application of DKR. These now offer a
serious alternative to conventional methods for asymmetric
synthesis. Indeed, impressive examples using new enzymes and major
progress in the DKR of racemates have taken place over the past few
years. The powerful combination of enzymes and metals has also been
the subject of spectacular development. In addition, a new type of
DKR, involving organocatalysts, has recently appeared. Although
asymmetric catalysis has undergone development during the last two
decades, the most common industrial process used to obtain
enantiomerically pure compounds is still via resolution of racemic
mixtures. This is despite the major disadvantage that only a
maximum of 50% product yield can be obtained. It is not surprising
that DKR, which solves the problem of the limitation in yield, has
attracted an increasing amount of interest from both the industrial
and the academic perspective. This book provides an up-date on the
principle methods employed to obtain dynamic kinetic resolution
(DKR) by either enzymatic or non-enzymatic methods. It also
illustrates the diversity of useful chiral products that can be
obtained through this powerful concept. Divided into three
sections, the book deals successively with non-enzymatic methods,
enzymatic methods, and the use of transition metals and enzymes in
tandem.
