  • The catalytic enantioselective Mannich-type reaction promoted by chiral binaphthyl-modified bifunctional organocatalysts is described. The treatment of ${\alpha}$-fluoro-${\beta}$-ketoesters with N-Boc imines under mild reaction conditions afforded the corresponding ${\beta}$-aminated ${\alpha}$-fluoro-${\beta}$-ketoesters with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee).

  • The organocatalytic enantioselective Michael addition reaction promoted by chiral binaphthyl-modified squaramide catalyst have been developed, allowing facile synthesis of the corresponding chiral 2-amino-4H-chromenes derivatives with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). The method reported represents a practical entry for the preparation of chiral 2-amino-4H-chromenes derivatives.

  • With current developments in enzyme-catalyzed reactions and techniques available for rational redesign of natural biocatalysts, the enzymatic biosynthesis can become one of the most valuable Synthetic methods. Enzymatic regioselective catalysis in organic media has played a key role in pursuing asymmetric synthesis for active chiral compounds. Here, we shortly do-scribe some historical issues of the rapidly growing area, enzymatic catalysis in synthetic organic chemistry and then review researches that have been carried out in the regioselective enzymatic catalysis for the past two decades. An application of this technology to the modification of some potential target drug co m pound will be adios presented.
