Abstract
A biphasic process for rapid screening of organic reactions comprising monitoring relative rates of parallel organic reactions. The screening process is suitable to determine the efficacy of different reactants, process conditions, and process enhancers such as catalysts or promoters. The biphasic process also allows multiple samples to be analyzed/monitored simultaneously. In addition because enzymes are used to monitor the reaction product in this invention, when that product is chiral and an enantio-discriminating enzyme is used to monitor the product, in addition to the relative rates, enantioselectivities of a set of parallel organic reactions can also be determined. The monitoring is done in situ and thus removal of aliquots for separate testing is unnecessary
