This chapter is an update (2003 to present) of the main applications of Bi(III) Lewis acids in organic synthesis developed and, in some cases, co-developed, by French and Portuguese research groups. Thus, in this chapter, the preparation of Bi(III) catalysts and their application to chemical transformations ranging from electrophilic addition to cyclization reactions, will be reviewed. The development of new environmentally friendly chemical processes, using Bi(III) reagents and catalysts, with direct application to steroid chemistry and related compounds will also be considered.

MAJOR USES Photographic developer antiseptic organic synthesis developer for fur dyes used in electroplating, specialty inks, antioxidants, light stabilizers, polymerization inhibitors, lubricating oils. 

In this context, the possibility of using a membrane photoreactor for organic synthesis, developing a hybrid system in which the photocatalytic reaction and the separation of the product of interest occurs in one step will be highlighted. 

Nevertheless, no matter how fast the organic synthesis develops, there are still a lot of natural products chemists cannot conquer. The complexities of natural organisms are always beyond our imagination. The exploration of complicated natural products always challenges the wisdom and creativity of organic chemists. Furthermore, the cross fusion of various subjects in modern era put forward new requirements and challenges for chemists working in the field of total synthesis of natural products. It requires them to have not only excellent chemistry skills and visions but also open mind in the new era. It also requires chemists to be able to analyze problem in the views over various fields. 

Program systems for computer-assisted organic synthesis (CAOS) have been under development since the early 1970s [27]. The program systems for computer-assisted synthesis planning can be subdivided into two groups information-oriented and logic-oriented systems [28]. 

A major trend in organic synthesis, however, is the move towards complex systems. It may happen that one needs to combine a steroid and a sugar molecule, a porphyrin and a carotenoid, a penicillin and a peptide. Also the specialists in a field have developed reactions and concepts that may, with or without modifications, be applied in other fields. If one needs to protect an amino group in a steroid, it is advisable not only to search the steroid literature but also to look into publications on peptide synthesis. In the synthesis of corrin chromophores with chiral centres, special knowledge of steroid, porphyrin, and alkaloid chemistry has been very helpful (R.B. Woodward, 1967 A. Eschenmoser, 1970). 

In biological systems molecular assemblies connected by non-covalent interactions are as common as biopolymers. Examples arc protein and DNA helices, enzyme-substrate and multienzyme complexes, bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs), and aggregates of biopolymers forming various aqueous gels, e.g, the eye lens. About 50% of the organic substances in humans are accounted for by the membrane structures of cells, which constitute the medium for the vast majority of biochemical reactions. Evidently organic synthesis should also develop tools to mimic the Structure and propertiesof biopolymer, biomembrane, and gel structures in aqueous media. 

Other catalytic uses of rare-earth compounds have not reached the same development. Neodymium salts are, however, used for mbber manufacturing (22). Divalent samarium haHdes are employed in organic synthesis (23). 

Development of conjugate and peptide vaccines requires the typical organic synthesis process and purification. This is a new area for vaccine technologists. Again, the main concern is to maintain the immunogenicity of the vaccine candidate during the chemical reaction and purification steps. 

Properties of zinc salts of inorganic and organic salts are Hsted in Table 1 with other commercially important zinc chemicals. In the dithiocarbamates, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, and formaldehyde sulfoxylate, zinc is covalendy bound to sulfur. In compounds such as the oxide, borate, and sihcate, the covalent bonds with oxygen are very stable. Zinc—carbon bonds occur in diorganozinc compounds, eg, diethjizinc [557-20-0]. Such compounds were much used in organic synthesis prior to the development of the more convenient Grignard route (see Grignard reactions). 

It is apparent that the use of enzymatic catalysis continues to grow Greater availabiUty of enzymes, development of new methodologies for thek utilization, investigation of enzymatic behavior in nonconventional environments, and the design and synthesis of new biocatalysts with altered selectivity and increased stabiUty are essential for the successhil development of this field. As more is learned about selectivity of enzymes toward unnatural substrates, the choice of an enzyme for a particular transformation will become easier to predict. It should simplify a search for an appropriate catalyst and help to estabhsh biocatalytic procedures as a usehil supplement to classical organic synthesis. 

Ethers are among the most used protective groups in organic synthesis. They vary from the simplest, most robust, methyl ether to the more elaborate, substituted, trityl ethers developed for use in nucleotide synthesis. They are formed and removed under a wide variety of conditions. Some of the ethers that have been used to protect alcohols are included in Reactivity Chart 1. ...

The third category, cake filters, although well developed in many wastewater treatment applications, are the least developed of the filtration equipment use by the Biotech Industry. In the organic synthesis laboratory sometimes very simple equipment like a funnel and filter paper is used to accomplish this operation. Some other operations used for this filtration step in the lab are more sophisticated, but many are very labor intensive and limit the capacity of the overall production process itself. As a result, there is a need for optimization of the cake filtration equipment used in biotechnology. Cake filtration equipment is available in batch and continuous modes. Following are several examples of cake filtration units ...

Menifield s concept of a solid-phase method for peptide synthesis and his development of methods for canying it out set the stage for an entirely new way to do chemical reactions. Solid-phase synthesis has been extended to include numerous other classes of compounds and has helped spawn a whole new field called combinatorial chemistry. Combinatorial synthesis allows a chemist, using solid-phase techniques, to prepare hundreds of related compounds (called libraries) at a time. It is one of the most active areas of organic synthesis, especially in the pharmaceutical industry.
