Conditions

Page 30: Combinatorial evolution of site- and enantioselective catalysts for polyene epoxidation Guillaume Pelletier Literature meeting - November 20 th 2012 Lichtor,

• Enzymes mediated approches are most often not general to a series of substrates.

• The application of diversity-based approaches may prove fruitful and may also offer analogy to the directed evolution of strategies employed by natural an bioengineered enzymatic systems.

• Peptide 9b and 12d found by one-bead-one-compound library screening are operating via a hydroxyl-mediated mechanism.

• They offer comparable selectivity to the well-known Sharpless epoxidation conditions and are amenable to new selectivity pattern.
