✦ Synopsis
Two NMR-based approaches for highthroughput screening of enantioselective catalysts and biocatalysts are described. One version makes use of pseudo-enantiomers or pseudo-meso-compounds based on 13 C-labeling. A throughput of at least 1400 ee determinations per day is possible by using an appropriate flow-through cell and an autosampler. The other approach is based on tradi-tional diastereomer formation using a chiral reagent or complexing agent. The ee values are accurate to within AE 2% and AE 5% of the true values.

About 1000 catalytic or stoichiometric asymmetric reactions of racemic compounds or prochiral substrates bearing enantiotopic groups can be analyzed per day. In this highly efficient method the enantioselectivity is determined by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry using isotopically labeled s
## Abstract The development of sensitive and easy‐to‐apply high‐throughput screening methods is a common need in modern biocatalysis. With these powerful analytical tools in hands, chemists can easily assess enzyme libraries to identify either novel biocatalysts or improved mutants. Within biocatal
