Artificial Metalloenzyme‐Catalyzed Enantioselective Carboamination of Alkenes

Abstract: Relying on ubiquitous alkenes, carboamination reactions enable the difunctionalization of the double bond by the concurrent formation of a C−N and a C−C single bond. In the past years, several groups have reported on elegant strategies for the carboamination of alkenes relying on homogeneous catalysts or enzymes. Herein, we report on an artificial metalloenzyme for the enantioselective carboamination of dihydrofuran. Genetic optimization, combined with a Bayesian optimization of catalytic performance, afforded the disubstituted tetrahydrofuran product in up to 22 TON and 85 % ee. X‐ray analysis of the evolved artificial carboaminase shed light on critical amino acid residues that affect catalytic performance.
