Enzymatic promiscuity, namely the possibility that one active site of an enzyme can catalyze several different chemical transformations, has been paid more attention and valuable synthesis tool for synthetic chemistry. This mini-review will focus on promiscuous acylase-mediated reactions that are useful in organic synthesis. The examples of catalytic promiscuity in Michael addition, Markovnikov addition by acylase and cascade reaction for the synthesis of pyrimidine derivatives with sugar branch are reviewed.
