Abstract

Biological oxygen-atom-transfer reactions, such as CÀH oxidation and epoxidation, occur with complete or almost complete stereoselectivity at body temperature.[1] Moreover, these reactions are highly atom efficient because of the use of dioxygen as the stoichiometric oxidant. These reactions are catalyzed by enzymatic oxidation systems that include an oxygenase. For example, cytochrome P450, a typical monooxygenase, catalyzes ...
