There are several notable examples where DCC has been successfully applied in catalysis:
Metalloenzyme mimics: Researchers have utilized DCC to create libraries of metal complexes that mimic the active sites of metalloenzymes, leading to the discovery of effective catalysts for oxidation and reduction reactions. Organocatalysis: DCC has been employed to identify new organocatalysts for asymmetric synthesis, where the dynamic system evolves to enhance enantioselectivity. Polymerization: Dynamic combinatorial libraries have been used to find catalysts for polymerization reactions, optimizing the molecular weight and polydispersity of the resulting polymers.
