Novel enzyme-catalysed C–C bond-forming reaction: an approach to the stereospecific synthesis of dihydroindenyl and tetrahydronaphthalene derivatives
Abstract
The novel C–C bond-forming reaction mediated by the enzyme mushroom tyrosinase (E.C. 1.14.18.1) cyclises phenols leading to substituted dihydroindenyl and tetrahydronaphthalene derivatives.
