Indole-containing acyloins are either key intermediates of many antimicrobial/antiviral natural products or building blocks in the synthesis of biologically active molecules. As such, access to structurally diverse indole-containing acyloins has attracted considerable attention. In this report, we present a pilot

The marine snail Aplysia californica produces escapin, an L-amino acid oxidase, in its defensive ink. Escapin uses L-lysine to produce diverse products called escapin intermediate products of L-lysine (EIP-K), including α-amino-ε-caproic acid, Δ¹-piperidine-2-carboxylic acid, and Δ²-piperidine-2-carboxylic acid. EIP-K and H₂O₂

N-Cbz-4,5-dehydro-L-prolineamide or N-Boc-4,5-dehydro-L-prolineamide are alternative key intermediates for the synthesis of saxagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP4) inhibitor recently approved for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. An efficient biocatalytic method was developed for conversion of L-ornithine, N-α-benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz)-L-ornthine, and
