3 Approaches to (un)natural product synthesis

Biosynthesis Organic

Synthesis Biocatalysis

• Natural products • Biosynthetic pathways • Enzyme mechanism • Specialised enzymes

• New reagents • New catalysts • Retrosynthesis • Synthetic strategy

• Engineered biocatalysts • Broad specificity • Systems biocatalysis • Synthetic biology

Diversity of natural products

1. All steps subjected to catalysis

2. No protecting groups

3. Relatively simple transformations (oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis)

4. Cascades used to build molecular complexity

What makes a good cascade?

1. ‘One Pot’ – all transformations compatible

2. High selectivity/orthogonality of biocatalysts – no cross reactivity

3. Intrinsic pre-organisation of reaction sequences

4. Thermodynamics favourable

• Can we develop guidelines for route design for synthetic

chemists (biocatalytic retrosynthesis).

• How many different biocatalyst classes do we have/need to be able to do real organic synthesis? 50 /250.

• How many distinct retrosynthetic disconnections? (ca. 250).

• Where are the gaps in biocatalysis – which reactions are under-represented in the biocatalysis toolbox (C-C bond formation)?

• Need biocatalysts with broad substrate scope that are active and stable under the conditions of a chemical process (fit

• biocatalyst to process rather than vice-versa).

• Need to increase application of biocatalysis in medicinal chemistry.
