Abstract excerpt
The biocatalytic toolbox has recently been expanded to include enzyme-catalyzed carbene transfer reactions not occurring in Nature. Herein, we report the development of a biocatalytic strategy for the synthesis of enantioenriched α-trifluoromethyl amines through an asymmetric N-H carbene insertion reaction catalyzed by engineered variants of cytochrome c552 from Hydrogenobacter thermophilus. Using a combination...
