30. Enzymes mediated approches are most often not general to a series of substrates. The application of diversity-based approaches may prove fruitful and may also offer analogy to the directed evolution of strategies employed by natural an bioengineered enzymatic systems. Peptide 9b and 12d found by one-bead-one-compound library screening are operating via a hydroxyl-mediated mechanism. They offer comparable selectivity to the well-known Sharpless epoxidation conditions and are amenable to new selectivity pattern. Conclusions Lichtor, P. A.; Miller, S. J. Nature Chem. 2012, ASAP.
