Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The contribution of Biocatalysis and Biotransformations in Organic Synthesis (BBOS) is of increasing importance and reflects the emerging challenge of the academic community and the chemical industry towards green chemistry. The design and development of more efficient synthetic processes is one of the major goals of green chemistry. Moreover, the integration of biocatalysis into chemical processes and the innovative potential of biotransformations in the promotion of the multistep catalytic concept, can contribute to the significantly improved process economy by avoiding time-, effort-, and solvent intensive steps. This innovative methodology offers great applications on Sustainable Chemistry.
This Special Issue on Biocatalysis and Biotransformations in Organic Synthesis will offer an attractive forum to present the synthetic potential of biocatalysis. I strongly encourage authors to submit papers for this Special Issue on BBOS, within the scope of Molecules. I hope that the topics covered will reflect the potential and the excitement of BBOS in the chemical community.
