摘要: The first example of a biocatalytic [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement reaction involving allylic sulfides and diazo reagents (Doyle–Kirmse reaction) is reported. Engineered variants sperm whale myoglobin catalyze this synthetically valuable C−C bond-forming transformation with high efficiency product conversions across variety sulfide substrates (e.g., aryl-, benzyl-, alkyl-substituted sulfides) α-diazo esters. Moreover, the scope myoglobin-mediated could be extended to conversion propargylic give substituted allenes. Active-site mutations proved effective in enhancing catalytic hemoprotein these reactions as well modulating enantioselectivity, resulting identification variant Mb(L29S,H64V,V68F), which capable mediating asymmetric Doyle–Kirmse an enantiomeric excess up 71 %. This work extends toolbox currently available strategies for formation carbon–carbon bonds.
