Tetrahedron 2022, 127, 133099



Enzymatic cascade reactions are powerful technologies to develop environmentally friendly and cost-effective synthetic processes to manufacture natural products and other valuable molecules. The application of Single-Enzyme-Catalyzed Cascade reactions (SECC) greatly improves the efficiency of synthesis. This digest focuses on the recent inspiring examples of the application of cascade reactions catalyzed by a single enzyme in synthesizing natural products and natural product-like molecules, with particular emphasis on the unique advantages of these strategies.
