Abstract: The production of enantiopure compounds is of increasing importance to the chemical and biotechnological industries. Bioorganic transformations are predestined to meet this demand due to their inherent regio- and stereoselective nature. Indeed, a growing amount of enantiopure chemicals for pharmaceutical purposes are being produced biocatalytically today, in contrast to the production of racemic bulk commodities in the past. In this sense, biosynthesis needs to be understood as "chemistry by nature". The biological principles optimized over thousands of years experience a new renaissance when applied to technical asymmetric catalysis. Nevertheless, one key tool or prerequisite for their application is the appropriate technology, namely reaction engineering . The objective of this book is to understand selected biological principles as well as processes in chemical terms, to transfer, apply them to and combine them with the traditional concepts of chemical, i.e., homogeneous catalysis. Simultaneously, the aim is to design and to develop novel reactors, i.e., engineered systems based on these biological principles. Currently, in technical asymmetric synthesis different biological principles are already being applied without the scientific community at large being aware of it. In those examples namely, where additionally reaction engineering has been integrated, very efficient production processes were designed . This gives rise to high expectations for the future of a sustainable, technical asymmetric catalysis.
