Biocatalyzed Reactions in Optically Active Phosphonate Synthesis

Abstract

With the dramatic growth in importance of asymmetric synthesis and application of optically pure organophosphorus compounds of defined absolute configuration, new approaches of gaining them become essential. This review is focused on representative and selected examples of recent achievements in enantioselective biotransformations of phosphoroorganic compounds.

Keywords:

• Biotransformations
