Abstract
The unspecific peroxygenase (UPO) from Agrocybe aegerita (rAaeUPO-PaDa-I-H) is an effective and practical biocatalyst for the oxidative expansion of furfuryl alcohols/amines on a preparative scale, using the Achmatowicz and aza-Achmatowicz reaction. The high activity and stability of the enzyme, which can be produced on a large scale as an air-stable lyophilised powder, renders it a versatile and scalable biocatalyst for the preparation of synthetically valuable 6-hydroxypyranones and dihydropiperidinones. In several cases, the biotransformation out-performed the analogous chemo-catalysed process, and operates under milder and greener reaction conditions.

Abstract
The formation of new carbon-nitrogen bonds is indisputably one of the most important tasks in synthetic organic chemistry. Here, nitroso compounds offer a highly interesting reactivity that complements traditional amination strategies, allowing for the introduction of nitrogen functionalities via ene-type reactions or Diels-Alder cycloadditions. In this study, we highlight the potential of horseradish peroxidase as biological mediator for the generation of reactive nitroso species under environmentally benign conditions. Exploiting a non-natural peroxidase reactivity, in combination with glucose oxidase as oxygen-activating biocatalyst, aerobic activation of a broad range of N-hydroxycarbamates and hydroxamic acids is achieved. Thus both intra- and intermolecular nitroso-ene as well as nitroso-Diels-Alder reactions are performed with high efficiency. Relying on a commercial and robust enzyme system, the aqueous catalyst solution can be recycled over numerous reaction cycles without significant loss of activity. Overall, this green and scalable C-N bond-forming strategy enables the production of allylic amides and various N-heterocyclic building blocks utilizing only air and glucose as sacrificial reagents.

Abstract
The biocatalytic oxidation of acylated hydroxylamines enables the direct and selective introduction of nitrogen functionalities by activation of allylic C-H bonds. Utilizing either laccases or an oxidase/peroxidase couple for the formal dehydrogenation of N-hydroxycarbamates and hydroxamic acids with air as the terminal oxidant, acylnitroso species are generated under particularly mild aqueous conditions. The reactive intermediates undergo C-N bond formation through an ene-type mechanism and provide high yields both in intramolecular and intermolecular enzymatic aminations. Investigations on different pathways of the two biocatalytic systems and labelling studies provide more insight into this unprecedented promiscuity of classical oxidoreductases as catalysts for nitroso-based transformations.

Abstract
Following a synthetic chemistry blueprint for the valorization of lignocellulosic platform chemicals, this study showcases a so far unprecedented approach to implement non-natural enzyme modules in vivo. For the design of a novel functional whole cell tool, two purely abiotic transformations, a styrene monooxygenase-catalyzed Achmatowicz rearrangement and an alcohol dehydrogenase-mediated borrowing hydrogen redox isomerization, were incorporated into a recombinant bacterial host. Introducing this type of chemistry otherwise unknown in biosynthesis, the cellular factories were enabled to produce complex lactone building blocks in good yield from bio-based furan substrates. This whole cell system streamlined the synthetic cascade, eliminated isolation and purification steps, and provided a high degree of stereoselectivity that has so far been elusive in the chemical methodology.

Abstract
The six-membered heterocycles containing oxygen and nitrogen (tetrahydropyrans, pyrans, piperidines) are among the most common heterocyclic structures ubiquitously present in bioactive molecules such as carbohydrates, small-molecule drugs, and natural products. Chemical synthesis of fully functionalized pyrans and piperidines is a research theme of practical importance and scientific significance and, thus, has attracted continuous interest from synthetic chemists. Among the numerous synthetic approaches, Achmatowicz rearrangement (AchR) represents a general and unique strategy that uses biomass-derived furfuryl alcohols as the renewable starting material to obtain fully functionalized six-membered oxygen/nitrogen heterocycles, which provides golden opportunities for organic chemists to address various synthetic challenges.This Account summarizes our 10 years of work on exploiting AchR to address some challenges in organic synthesis ranging from green chemistry and organic methodology to the total synthesis of natural products. We enabled the sustainable and safe use of AchR in a small (academia) or large (industrial) scale by developing two generations of green approaches for AchR (oxone-halide and Fenton-halide), which largely eliminate the use of the most popular, but more toxic and expansive, NBS and m-CPBA. This triggered our intensive interest in developing new green chemistry for important organic reactions, in particular, halogenation/oxidation reactions involving reactive halogenating species with the aim of eliminating the use of commonly used toxic halogen agents such as elemental bromine, chlorine gas, and various N-haloamide reagents (NBS, NCS, and NIS). We successfully employed oxone-halide and Fenton-halide as green alternatives to several mechanistically related organic reactions including arene/alkene halogenation, oxidation or oxidative rearrangement of indoles, oxidation of alcohols/thioacetals, and oxidative halogenation of aldoximes for the in situ generation of nitrile oxide. These green reactions are expected to have a solid impact on the future of organic synthesis in academia and industries.We expanded the synthetic utility of AchR by exploring several new transformations of AchR products and developed a cascade reductive ring expansion, reductive deoxygenation/Heck-Matsuda arylation, palladium-catalyzed C-arylation, and regiodivergent [3 + 2] cycloaddition with 1,3-dicarbonyls. These methodologies offer a new avenue to fully functionalized six-membered heterocycles.The synthetic utility of AchR was demonstrated in our total synthesis of 28 natural products with a pyran/piperidine moiety. The AchR-based strategy endows the total synthesis with scalability, sustainability, and flexibility. The green and scalable approaches developed in our lab for AchR allow us to easily obtain decagrams of synthetically valuable pyrans and/or piperidines with low risk and low cost from biomass-derived furfuryl alcohol/aldehyde.

Abstract
Vanadate-dependent chloroperoxidase from Curvularia inaequalis catalyzes 5-endo-trig bromocyclizations of α-allenols to produce valuable halofunctionalized furans as versatile synthetic building blocks. In contrast to other haloperoxidases, also the more challenging 5-exo-trig halocyclizations of γ-allenols succeed with this system even though the scope still remains more narrow. Benefitting from the vanadate chloroperoxidase's high resiliency towards oxidative conditions, cyclization-inducing reactive hypohalite species are generated in situ from bromide salts and hydrogen peroxide. Crucial requirements for high conversions are aqueous biphasic emulsions as reaction media, stabilized by either cationic or non-ionic surfactants.

Abstract
Biocatalysis has an enormous impact on chemical synthesis. The waves in which biocatalysis has developed, and in doing so changed our perception of what organic chemistry is, were reviewed 20 and 10 years ago. Here we review the consequences of these waves of development. Nowadays, hydrolases are widely used on an industrial scale for the benign synthesis of commodity and bulk chemicals and are fully developed. In addition, further enzyme classes are gaining ever increasing interest. Particularly, enzymes catalysing selective C-C-bond formation reactions and enzymes catalysing selective oxidation and reduction reactions are solving long-standing synthetic challenges in organic chemistry. Combined efforts from molecular biology, systems biology, organic chemistry and chemical engineering will establish a whole new toolbox for chemistry. Recent developments are critically reviewed.

Abstract
Alcohol dehydrogenases can act as powerful catalysts in the preparation of optically pure γ-hydroxy-δ-lactones by means of an enantioconvergent dynamic redox isomerization of readily available Achmatowicz-type pyranones. Imitating the traditionally metal-mediated "borrowing hydrogen" approach to shuffle hydrides across molecular architectures and interconvert functional groups, this chemoinspired and purely biocatalytic interpretation effectively expands the enzymatic toolbox and provides new opportunities in the assembly of multienzyme cascades and tailor-made cellular factories.
