Abstract
Direct site-selective and enantioselective oxyfunctionalization of C(sp3)-H bonds to form alcohols with a general scope, with predictable selectivities, and in preparatively useful yields represents a paradigm shift in the standard logic of synthetic organic chemistry. However, the knowledge of either enzymatic or nonenzymatic asymmetric hydroxylation of tertiary C-H bonds for enantioenriched tertiary alcohol synthesis is sorely lacking. Here, we report a practical manganese-catalyzed enantio-differentiating hydroxylation of tertiary propargylic C-H bonds in acyclic systems, producing a wide range of structurally diverse enantioenriched tertiary propargyl alcohols in high efficiency with extremely efficient chemo- and enantio-discrimination. Other features include the use of C-H substrates as the limiting reagent, noteworthy functional group compatibility, great synthetic utilities, and scalability. The findings serve as a blueprint for the development of metal-catalyzed asymmetric oxidation of challenging substrates.

Abstract
Regioselective and enantioselective hydroxylation of propargylic C-H bonds are useful reactions but often lack appropriate catalysts. Here a green and efficient asymmetric hydroxylation of primary and secondary C-H bonds at propargylic positions has been established. A series of optically active propargylic alcohols were prepared with high regio- and enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee) under mild reaction conditions by using P450tol, while the C≡C bonds in the molecule remained unreacted. This protocol provides a green and practical method for constructing enantiomerically chiral propargylic alcohols. In addition, we also demonstrated that the biohydroxylation strategy was able to scaled up to 2.25 mmol scale with the production of chiral propargyl alcohol 2a at a yield of 196 mg with 96% ee, which's an important synthetic intermediate of antifungal drug Ravuconazole.

Abstract
Highly selective C-H functionalization remains an ongoing challenge in organic synthetic methodologies. Biocatalysts are robust tools for achieving these difficult chemical transformations. Biocatalyst engineering has often required directed evolution or structure-based rational design campaigns to improve their activities. In recent years, machine learning has been integrated into these workflows to improve the discovery of beneficial enzyme variants. In this work, we combine a structure-based machine-learning algorithm with classical molecular dynamics simulations to down select mutations for rational design of a non-heme iron-dependent lysine dioxygenase, LDO. This approach consistently resulted in functional LDO mutants and circumvents the need for extensive study of mutational activity before-hand. Our rationally designed single mutants purified with up to 2-fold higher yields than WT and displayed higher total turnover numbers (TTN). Combining five such single mutations into a pentamutant variant, LPNYI LDO, leads to a 40% improvement in the TTN (218±3) as compared to WT LDO (TTN = 160±2). Overall, this work offers a low-barrier approach for those seeking to synergize machine learning algorithms with pre-existing protein engineering strategies.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 BM3 monooxygenase is the topic of extensive research as many researchers have evolved this enzyme to generate a variety of products. However, the abundance of information on increasingly diversified variants of P450 BM3 that catalyze a broad array of chemistry is not in a format that enables easy extraction and interpretation. We present a database that categorizes variants by their catalyzed reactions and includes details about substrates to provide reaction context. This database of >1500 P450 BM3 variants is downloadable and machine-readable and includes instructions to maximize ease of gathering information. The database allows rapid identification of commonly reported substitutions, aiding researchers who are unfamiliar with the enzyme in identifying starting points for enzyme engineering. For those actively engaged in engineering P450 BM3, the database, along with this review, provides a powerful and user-friendly platform to understand, predict, and identify the attributes of P450 BM3 variants, encouraging the further engineering of this enzyme.

Abstract
C-H oxyfunctionalisation remains a distinct challenge for synthetic organic chemists. Oxygenases and peroxygenases (grouped here as "oxygenating biocatalysts") catalyse the oxidation of a substrate with molecular oxygen or hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. The application of oxygenating biocatalysts in organic synthesis has dramatically increased over the last decade, producing complex compounds with potential uses in the pharmaceutical industry. This review will focus on hydroxyl functionalisation using oxygenating biocatalysts as a tool for drug discovery and development. Established oxygenating biocatalysts, such as cytochrome P450s and flavin-dependent monooxygenases, have widely been adopted for this purpose, but can suffer from low activity, instability or limited substrate scope. Therefore, emerging oxygenating biocatalysts which offer an alternative will also be covered, as well as considering the ways in which these hydroxylation biotransformations can be applied in drug discovery and development, such as late-stage functionalisation (LSF) and in biocatalytic cascades.

Abstract
Intermolecular cross-coupling of terminal olefins with secondary amines to form complex tertiary amines-a common motif in pharmaceuticals-remains a major challenge in chemical synthesis. Basic amine nucleophiles in nondirected, electrophilic metal-catalyzed aminations tend to bind to and thereby inhibit metal catalysts. We reasoned that an autoregulatory mechanism coupling the release of amine nucleophiles with catalyst turnover could enable functionalization without inhibiting metal-mediated heterolytic carbon-hydrogen cleavage. Here, we report a palladium(II)-catalyzed allylic carbon-hydrogen amination cross-coupling using this strategy, featuring 48 cyclic and acyclic secondary amines (10 pharmaceutically relevant cores) and 34 terminal olefins (bearing electrophilic functionality) to furnish 81 tertiary allylic amines, including 12 drug compounds and 10 complex drug derivatives, with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity (>20:1 linear:branched, >20:1 E:Z).

Abstract
The selective oxygenation of nonactivated carbon atoms is an ongoing synthetic challenge, and biocatalysts, particularly hemoprotein oxygenases, continue to be investigated for their potential, given both their sustainable chemistry credentials and also their superior selectivity. However, issues of stability, activity, and complex reaction requirements often render these biocatalytic oxygenations problematic with respect to scalable industrial processes. A continuing focus on Cytochromes P450 (P450s), which require a reduced nicotinamide cofactor and redox protein partners for electron transport, has now led to better catalysts and processes with a greater understanding of process requirements and limitations for both in vitro and whole-cell systems. However, the discovery and development of unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs) has also recently provided valuable complementary technology to P450-catalyzed reactions. UPOs need only hydrogen peroxide to effect oxygenations but are hampered by their sensitivity to peroxide and also by limited selectivity. In this Perspective, we survey recent developments in the engineering of proteins, cells, and processes for oxygenations by these two groups of hemoproteins and evaluate their potential and relative merits for scalable reactions.

Abstract
An allylic C-H acyloxylation of terminal alkenes with 4-nitrobenzoic acid was assisted by a bidentate-sulfoxide-ligated palladium catalyst combined with 1,4-benzoquinone and Ag2CO3 under mild reaction conditions. The catalytic activity was remarkably enhanced by Ag2CO3 as an additive and 4-nitrobenzoic acid as a carboxylate source; both components were essential to exhibiting high catalytic activity, high branch selectivity, and a wide substrate scope with low loading of the palladium catalyst. Branch-selective allylic acyloxylation of ethyl 7-octenoate (1a) gave the product which was led to ethyl 6,8-dihydroxyoctanoate (5), a useful synthetic intermediate of (R)-α-lipoic acid.

Abstract
Enzymes, at the turn of the 21st century, are gaining a momentum. Especially in the field of synthetic organic chemistry, a broad variety of biocatalysts are being applied in an increasing number of processes running at up to industrial scale. In addition to the advantages of employing enzymes under environmentally friendly reaction conditions, synthetic chemists are recognizing the value of enzymes connected to the exquisite selectivity of these natural (or engineered) catalysts. The use of hydrolases in enantioselective protocols paved the way to the application of enzymes in asymmetric synthesis, in particular in the context of biocatalytic (dynamic) kinetic resolutions. After two decades of impressive development, the field is now mature to propose a panel of catalytically diverse enzymes for (i) stereoselective reactions with prochiral compounds, such as double bond reduction and bond forming reactions, (ii) formal enantioselective replacement of one of two enantiotopic groups of prochiral substrates, as well as (iii) atroposelective reactions with noncentrally chiral compounds. In this review, the major enzymatic strategies broadly applicable in the asymmetric synthesis of optically pure chiral compounds are presented, with a focus on the reactions developed within the past decade.

Abstract
Achieving direct C-H hydroxylation in a highly diastereo- and enantioselective manner is still a challenging goal. This reaction is mainly hindered by the potential for overoxidation of the generated alcohols as well as low stereoselectivity. Herein, we present an enantioselective benzylic C-H hydroxylation catalyzed by a manganese complex, H2O2, and a carboxylic acid in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol. The benzylic alcohols were successfully furnished in excellent diastereoselectivities (up to >95:5) and enantioselectivities (up to 95% ee). As a highlight of this work, high diastereoselectivity of C-H hydroxylation could be achieved by tuning the amount of carboxylic acid additive.

Abstract
Catalytic C-H oxyfunctionalization reactions have garnered significant attention in recent years with their ability to streamline synthetic routes toward complex molecules. Consequently, there have been significant strides in the design and development of catalysts that enable diversification through C-H functionalization reactions. Enzymatic C-H oxygenation reactions are often complementary to small molecule based synthetic approaches, providing a powerful tool when deployable on preparative-scale. This review highlights key advances in scalable biocatalytic C-H oxyfunctionalization reactions developed within the past decade.

Abstract
Hydroxy- or ketone- functionalized fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) are important compounds for production of pharmaceuticals, vitamins, cosmetics or dietary supplements. Biocatalysis through enzymatic cascades has drawn attention to the efficient, sustainable, and greener synthetic processes. Furthermore, whole cell catalysts offer important advantages such as cofactor regeneration by cell metabolism, omission of protein purification steps and increased enzyme stability. Here, we report the first whole cell catalysis employing an engineered P450 BM3 variant and cpADH5 coupled cascade reaction for the biosynthesis of hydroxy- and keto-FAMEs. Firstly, P450 BM3 was engineered through the KnowVolution approach yielding P450 BM3 variant YE_M1_2, (R47S/Y51W/T235S/N239R/I401 M) which exhibited boosted performance toward methyl hexanoate. The initial oxidation rate of YE_M1_2 toward methyl hexanoate was determined to be 23-fold higher than the wild type enzyme and a 1.5-fold increase in methyl 3-hydroxyhexanoate production was obtained (YE_M1_2; 2.75 mM and WT; 1.8 mM). Subsequently, the whole cell catalyst for the synthesis of methyl 3-hydroxyhexanoate and methyl 3-oxohexanoate was constructed by combining the engineered P450 BM3 and cpADH5 variants in an artificial operon. A 2.06 mM total product formation was achieved by the whole cell catalyst including co-expressed channel protein, FhuA and co-solvent addition. Moreover, the generated whole cell biocatalyst also accepted methyl valerate, methyl heptanoate as well as methyl octanoate as substrates and yielded ω-1 ketones as the main product.

Abstract
Information about substrate and product selectivity is critical for understanding the function of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases. In addition, comprehensive understanding of changes in substrate selectivity of P450 upon amino acid mutation would enable the design and creation of engineered P450s with desired selectivities. Therefore, systematic methods for obtaining such information are required. Herein, we developed an integrated P450 substrate screening system for the selection of “exemplary” substrates for a P450 of interest. The established screening system accurately selected the known exemplary substrates and also identified previously unknown exemplary substrates for microbial-derived P450s from a library containing sp3-rich synthetic small molecules. Synthetically potent transformations were also found by analyzing the reactions and oxidation products. The screening system was applied to analyze the substrate selectivity of the P450 BM3 mutants F87A and F87A/A330W, which acquired an ability to hydroxylate non-natural substrate steroids regio- and stereoselectively by two amino acid mutations. The distinct transition of exemplary substrates due to each single amino acid mutation was revealed, demonstrating the utility of the established system.

Abstract
Different enzymatic and nonenzymatic approaches were tested and compared to afford enantiopure homoallylic and allylic alcohols as building blocks in a total synthesis showcase. Thereby, highly enantioselective alcohol dehydrogenases and the P450 BM3 monooxygenase variant A74G L188Q were compared to classical asymmetric reagent-controlled allyl additions. Thus, the first total syntheses of the proposed structures for putaminoxins B/D and their respective enantiomers were accomplished. Detailed spectroscopic analysis of the newly synthesized compounds unraveled a discrepancy with respect to the reported structures of putaminoxins B/D. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that total synthesis is generally required for unequivocal assignment of configuration, because purely comparative NMR studies and judgment by analogy can lead to false predictions.

Abstract
The aim of this article is influence of the structure of lactones with the methylcyclohexene and dimethylcyclohexene ring on their biotransformation and antimicrobial activity. This work was based on the general remark that even the smallest change in the structure of a compound can affect its biological properties. The results of the biotransformation of four bicyclic unsaturated lactones with one or two methyl groups in the cyclohexene ring was tested using fifteen fungal strains (Fusarium species, Penicillium species, Absidia species, Cunninghamella japonica, and Pleurotus ostreatus) and five yeast strains (Yarrowia lipolytica, Rhodorula marina, Rhodorula rubra, Candida viswanathii, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae). During these transformations, new epoxylactone and hydroxylactone were obtained. The relationship between the substrate structure and the ability of the microorganisms to transform them were analysed. Only compounds with C-O bond of lactone ring in the equatorial position were transformed by fungus. All presented here lactones were examined also for their antimicrobial activity. It turned out that these compounds exhibited growth inhibition of bacteria and fungi, mainly Bacillus subtilis, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, and Penicillium expansum.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 BM3 monooxygenases are able to catalyze the regio- and stereoselective oxygenation of a broad range of substrates, with promising potential for synthetic applications. To study the suitability of P450 BM3 variants for stereoselective benzylic hydroxylation of 2-alkylated benzoic acid esters, the biotransformation of methyl 2-ethylbenzoate, resulting in both enantiomeric forms of 3-methylphthalide, was investigated. In the case of methyl 2-propylbenzoate as a substrate the regioselectivity of the reaction was shifted towards β-hydroxylation, resulting in the synthesis of enantioenriched R- and S-configured 3-methylisochroman-1-one. The potential of P450 BM3 variants for regio- and stereoselective synthesis of phthalides and isocoumarins offers a new route to a class of compounds that are valuable synthons for a variety of natural compounds.

Abstract
The oxidative coupling of alkylboronic acids with oxygen nucleophiles offers a strategy for replacing toxic, electrophilic alkylating reagents. Although the Chan-Lam reaction has been widely applied in the arylation of heteroatom nucleophiles, O-alkylation with boronic acids is rare. We report a Cu-catalyzed nondecarboxylative methylation of carboxylic acids with methylboronic acid that proceeds in air with no additional oxidant. An isotope-labeling study supports an oxidative cross-coupling mechanism, in analogy to that proposed for Chan-Lam arylation.
