• Description: (+/-)-trans-1,2-Bis(2-mercaptoacetamido)cyclohexane is a synthetic compound that belongs to the class of organocatalysts. It has been shown to be an effective catalyst for the synthesis of amines and other organic compounds. The enzyme isomerase catalyzes the isomerisation of cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane to trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane. This reaction proceeds by the transfer of two hydrogen atoms from the amino group of one molecule to the carbonyl group of another molecule. (+/-)-trans-1,2-Bis(2-mercaptoacetamido)cyclohexane catalyses this reaction in a reversible manner with high yields and high enantioselectivity. The redox system consists of two separate electron transfer reactions: one between sulfoxide and glutathione and one between sulfoxide and
