Aap. Meekel et al., FIRST EXAMPLE OF AN ANTIBODY-CATALYZED HETERO-DIELS-ALDER REACTION, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (5), 1995, pp. 571-572
Two transition-state directed antibodies catalyse a Diels-Alder reacti
on between a 1,3-diene and an arylnitroso dienophile; one of the antib
odies shows a good rate enhancement (k(cat/)k(uncat) = 1205) and steer
s the reaction in favour of the targeted isomeric adduct.
