Abstract

This review covers the use of polyamino acids as biocatalysts in asymmetric reactions with focus on the enantioselective epoxidation of α, β­unsaturated ketones. The preparation and mechanism of action of the polyamino acids are discussed and related asymmetric reactions catalysed by poly-amino acids and other non-enzymic biocatalysts are described.
