Cover Story: Chemical and medical science contributes significantly to the economic advancement of humans. Nevertheless, it faces immense environmental challenges that require re-examination of traditional approaches. A main benefit of contemporary science is the quick dissemination of research results. Microwave-induced reactions open up a new era in the synthesis of chiral and achiral medicinally active molecules. The use of enzymes in asymmetric synthesis has gained significant popularity in organic and medicinal chemistry in response to high demand. The microwave-induced enzymatic process has added new value to asymmetric reactions. By combining enzyme catalysis with microwave technology under a diverse range of conditions, it is possible to prepare numerous important molecules of medicinal significance. View this paper
