架起化学-酶催化之间的桥梁: 构建策略及催化应用

The chemoenzymatic cascade catalysis combines the broad reactivity of chemical catalysis with the high selectivity of biocatalysis, and is an effective way to asymmetrically synthesize high value-added chiral compounds. However, the incompatibilities between the chemo- and biocatalysts as well as between their respective reaction conditions greatly restricted the development of this field. The design of feasible approaches to solve these problems can achieve the compatibility and complementary advantages of the two catalytic categories, thus making the chemoenzymatic cascade catalytic reactions more widely applied. In this review, the recent progress in developing strategies to overcome the incompatibility between chemical catalysis and enzymatic catalysis, such as temporal separation, spatial separation and integrated catalysts, is reviewed. The applications of chemoenzymatic cascade catalysis in dynamic kinetic resolution of chiral compounds and synthesis of chiral drugs are also introduced. Finally, the future limitations and the development trends of this field are prospected.
