报告摘要：

Recently efficient systems for dynamic kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols based on combined ruthenium and enzyme catalysis were developed in his laboratory. These reactions have been recently extended to amines and other substrates. The Bäckvall group has also developed a range of  biomimetic oxidation reactions that utilize O₂or H₂O₂ as the oxidant. In these reactions electron-transfer mediators are employed to facilitate low-energy electron transfer similar to that occurring in natural systems.
