Abstract
In this review we describe the asymmetrization of readily available Cs-symmetric compounds by enzyme-catalyzed reactions to provide chiral building blocks for the effective enantioselective synthesis of certain indole and quinolizidine alkaloids. By the asymmetrization of 1,2-disubstituted cyclo cyclohex-4-enes a series of class I alkaloids, such as (-)-antirhine, (-)-akagerine, and (posative)-meroquinene, have been synthesized from the relevant chiral precursors. By employing the same chemo-enzymatic approach, asymmetrization of Cs-symmetric 3,5-disubstituted piperidines provides access to 15,20-dihydrocleavamine and its analogues, as well as to (posative)-tacamonine. The synthetic design and details of the various syntheses are presented. In addition, the scope and prospects of the symmetrization-asymmetrization strategy are discussed with special reference to the quinolizidine alkaloids.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
Chemistry and Biology of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are one of the most abundant natural products and are considered to be extremely important biomolecules for their ever-increasing impact on chemistry and biology. Their role in several important biological processes, notably energy storage, transport, modulation of protein function, intercellular adhesion, malignant transformation, signal transduction, viral, and bacterial cell ...read more
Electrochemical C-X bond formation
Conventional methods for carrying out carbon–X bond formation are typically conducted at harsh reaction conditions, and rely on expensive catalysts as well as the use of stoichiometric, and perhaps toxic, oxidants. In this regard, electrochemical synthesis has recently been recognized as a sustainable and scalable strategy for the construction of ...read more
