Biocatalytic techniques, which lead to the highly efficient transformation of a racemate into a single stereoisomeric product in (theoretically) 100% chemical yield and 100% enantiomeric excess are reviewed and their specific merits and limitations are discussed. The processes known so far can be classified into the following categories: (i) A range of methods are based on the improvement of classic kinetic resolution processes, for instance reracemization followed by repeated resolution, dynamic resolution and follow-up reactions, such as stereoinversion reactions. (ii) On the contrary, more elegant solutions are derived by employing enantioconvergent processes, which are based on the transformation of each enantiomer through stereochemically different pathways, which can be achieved by using combined chemo- and/or biocatalysis. (iii) Finally, a novel type of process for the deracemization of compounds possessing a sec-alcohol and -amino group makes use of a cyclic oxidation-reduction sequence, which is combined in a cyclic mode.
