  • Title: Enzymatic catalysis of the Diels-Alder reaction in the biosynthesis of natural products.
    Author: Oikawa H, Tokiwano T.
    Journal: Nat Prod Rep; 2004 Jun; 21(3):321-52. PubMed ID: 15162222.
    Abstract:
    Recent studies on enzymes catalyzing the Diels- Alder reaction. often named "Diels-Alderases", clearlydemonstrated the involvement of this synthetically useful reaction in the biosynthesis of natural products.This review covers natural Diels-Alder type cycloadducts. synthetic efforts on the chemical feasibility ofthe biosynthctic Diels - Alder reaction and a brief history of studies on Diels-Alderases. In addition,reaction mechanisms of artificial and natural Diels--Alderases are discussed.
