This ready reference focuses on the currently available toolbox of biocatalysed reductions of C=O, C=C and formal C=N double bonds to show which transformations are reliable for use in manufacturing processes and which still require improvements and investigation. Following an introductory chapter, chapters 2-4 present the synthetic strategies which are currently available for the reduction of C=C, C=O and for reductive amination, by means of whole cell catalysts and isolated enzymes.
