Abstract
The introduction of nitrogen atoms into small molecules is of fundamental importance and it is vital that ever more efficient and selective methods for achieving this are developed. With this aim, the potential of nitrene chemistry has long been appreciated but its application has been constrained by the extreme reactivity of these labile species. This liability however can be attenuated by complexation with a transition metal and the resulting metal nitrenoids have unique and highly versatile reactivity which includes the amination of certain types of aliphatic C-H bonds as well as reactions with alkenes to afford aziridines. At least one new chiral centre is typically formed in these processes and the development of catalysts to exert control over enantioselectivity in nitrenoid-mediated amination has become a growing area of research, particularly over the past two decades. Compared with some synthetic methods, metal nitrenoid chemistry is notable in that chemists can draw from a diverse array of metals and catalysts , ranging from metal-ligand complexes, bearing a variety of ligand types, via bio-inspired metalloporphyrins, all the way through to, very recently, engineered enzymes themselves. In the latter category in particular, rapid progress is being made, the rate of which suggests that this approach may be instrumental in addressing some of the outstanding challenges in the field. This review covers key developments and strategies that have shaped the field, in addition to the latest advances, up until September 2023.

Abstract
Subtilisin integrated artificial plant-cell walls (APCWs) were fabricated by self-assembly using cellulose or nanocellulose as the main component. The resulting APCW catalysts are excellent heterogeneous catalysts for the asymmetric synthesis of (S)-amides. This was demonstrated by the APCW-catalyzed kinetic resolution of several racemic primary amines to give the corresponding (S)-amides in high yields with excellent enantioselectivity. The APCW catalyst can be recycled for multiple reaction cycles without loss of enantioselectivity. The assembled APCW catalyst was also able to cooperate with a homogeneous organoruthenium complex, which allowed for the co-catalytic dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of a racemic primary amine to give the corresponding (S)-amide in high yield. The APCW/Ru co-catalysis constitutes the first examples of DKR of chiral primary amines when subtilisin is used as a co-catalyst.

Abstract
The copper-catalyzed racemization of a complex, quaternary center of a key intermediate on route to lanabecestat has been identified. Optimization and mechanistic understanding were achieved through the use of an efficient, combined kinetic-multiple linear regression approach to experimental design and modeling. The use of a definitive screening design with mechanistically relevant factors and a mixture of fitted kinetic descriptors and empirical measurements facilitated the generation of a model that accurately predicted complex reaction time course behavior. The synergistic model was used to minimize the formation of dimer byproducts, determine optimal conditions for batch operation, and highlight superheated conditions that could be accessed in flow, leading to a further increase in yield which was predicted by the original model.

Using enzymes to tame nitrogen-centred radicals for enantioselective hydroamination. Nat Chem 2023; 15:206-212.

Abstract
The formation of C-N bonds-of great importance to the pharmaceutical industry-can be facilitated enzymatically using nucleophilic and nitrene transfer mechanisms. However, neither natural nor engineered enzymes are known to generate and control nitrogen-centred radicals, which serve as valuable species for C-N bond formation. Here we use flavin-dependent 'ene'-reductases with an exogenous photoredox catalyst to selectively generate amidyl radicals within the protein active site. These enzymes are engineered through directed evolution to catalyse 5-exo, 6-endo, 7-endo, 8-endo, and intermolecular hydroamination reactions with high levels of enantioselectivity. Mechanistic studies suggest that radical initiation occurs via an enzyme-gated mechanism, where the protein thermodynamically activates the substrate for reduction by the photocatalyst. Molecular dynamics studies indicate that the enzymes bind substrates using non-canonical binding interactions, which may serve as a handle to further manipulate reactivity. This approach demonstrates the versatility of these enzymes for controlling the reactivity of high-energy radical intermediates and highlights the opportunity for synergistic catalyst strategies to unlock previously inaccessible enzymatic functions.

Abstract
Chiral amines are essential components for many pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. However, the difficulty in obtaining enantiomerically pure amines limits their application. In this study, hollow amorphous ZIF-90 (HamZIF-90) materials were prepared by template engraving, and chemical-enzyme coupling catalysts (HamZIF-90@Pd@CALB) were constructed for the chiral resolution of 1-phenylethylamine. Different from conventional materials, HamZIF-90 had tunable hollow structures by altering its central node zinc ion concentrations, and the embedded hydrogel template gave it more pore structures, which facilitated the loading of enzyme molecules and Pd nanoparticles (NPs). The establishment of the coupling catalysts shortened the mass transfer distance of the reactant molecules between the metal nanoparticles and the enzyme catalyst in the dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) reaction, resulting in 98% conversion of 1-phenylethylamine and 93% selectivity of Sel.R-amide. The proposal of this idea provided a good idea for future tailor-made MOFs loaded with chemical and enzyme coupled catalyst.

Abstract
Due to differences in the chemical properties or optimal reaction conditions of the catalysts, the challenge in the design of bio-chemical hybrid catalysts is that the bio-catalysts or chemical catalysts usually cannot maintain the initial catalytic performance. Herein, we report a general bio-chemical hybrid catalyst synthesis method using a natural enzyme scaffold-confined metal nanocluster. A redox-active enzyme is a nanoreactor that allows access to and reduces metal ions into metal nanoclusters in situ, resulting in the enzyme-confined metal nanocluster hybrid catalyst with a synergistic effect to boost catalytic performance. Specifically, bilirubin oxidase-Ir nanoclusters (BOD-Ir NCs) with catalytic properties for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are designed. The BOD-Ir NCs exhibit an approximately 2-fold ORR activity compared with pure BOD and a 4-fold OER activity compared with pure Ir NCs. BOD-Ir NCs exhibit stability for over 50,000 s, exceeding that of pure Ir NCs (22,000 s). The synergistic catalytic performance is attributed to the following: the mild preparation condition and matched sizes of BOD and the Ir NCs maintain the natural activity of BOD; the highly conductive Ir NCs improve the ORR activity of BOD; and the confining effect of BOD, which improves the stability and activity of the Ir NCs during the OER. In particular, BOD-Ir NCs exhibit a high half-wave potential of 0.97 V for the ORR and a low overpotential of 319 mV at 10 mA cm-2 for the OER, surpassing most of reported catalysts under neutral conditions. Furthermore, laccase-Ir NCs and glucose oxidase-Pd NCs with synergistic catalytic performances are fabricated, proving the universality of this synthetic method. This facile strategy for designing synergistic hybrid catalysts is expected to be applied to more complex chemical transformations.

Abstract
Amino transaminases (ATAs) have been supported on a 2D ITQ-2 zeolite through electrostatic interactions, resulting in a highly stable active biocatalyst to obtain a variety of valuable chiral amines starting from prochiral ketones derived from biomass. We have extended the biocatalyst applications by designing a chemo-enzymatic process that allows, as the first step, prochiral ketones to be obtained from biomass-derived compounds through an aldol condensation–reduction step using a bifunctional metal/base catalyst. The prochiral ketone is subsequently converted into the chiral amine using the immobilized ATA. We show that it is feasible to couple both steps in a semi-continuous process to produce industrially relevant chiral amines with yields of >95% and ∼100% enantiomer excess.

Abstract
This study reports the isolation and partial purification of transaminase from the wild species of Bacillus licheniformis. Semi-purified transaminase was immobilized on copper nanoflowers (NFs) synthesized through sonochemical method and explored it as a nanobiocatalyst. The conditions for the synthesis of transaminase NFs [TA@Cu3(PO4)2NF] were optimized. Synthesized NFs revealed the protein loading and activity yield-60 ± 5% and 70 ± 5%, respectively. The surface morphology of the synthesized hybrid NFs was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which revealed the average size to be around 1 ± 0.5 μm. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) was used to confirm the presence of the enzyme inside the immobilized matrix. In addition, circular dichroism and florescence spectroscopy were also used to confirm the integrity of the secondary and tertiary structures of the protein in the immobilized material. The transaminase hybrid NFs exhibited enhanced kinetic properties and stability over the free enzyme and revealed high reusability. Furthermore, the potential application of the immobilized transaminase hybrid NFs was demonstrated in the resolution of racemic α-methyl benzylamine.

Abstract
In recent decades, enzymes have been the target of considerable research, development,
and innovation. This paper presents an up-to-date overview of the technological application of lipases
in the pharmaceutical industry. Lipases have been used in a variety of ways in the pharmaceutical
industry, both for obtaining bioactive molecules to overcome limitations in the formulation of medicines
and in drug design. This is possible from alternative technologies, such as immobilization and
the use of non-aqueous solvents that allow the use of lipases in commercial-scale processes. In addition,
other technologies have provided the emergence of differentiated and more specific lipases in
order to meet the perspectives of industrial processes. The research indicates that the following years
should be promising for the application of lipase in the industrial biocatalysis and in drug design.

Enzyme-metal hybrid catalysts (EMHCs), which combine enzymatic and metal catalysis, provide tremendous possibilities for new chemoenzymatic cascade reactions. Here, an overview of the representative achievements in the design of EMHCs and their applications in chemoenzymatic cascade reactions are presented. The preparation of hybrid catalysts is classified into two categories: coimmobilized enzyme-metal heterogeneous catalysts and carrier-free enzyme-metal bioconjugates. Examples of one-pot chemoenzymatic cascade processes catalyzed by the hybrid catalysts are then provided as potential applications.

Abstract
Implemented with the highly efficient concept of Dynamic Kinetic Resolution (DKR), dynamic covalent chemistry can be a useful strategy for the synthesis of enantioenriched compounds. This gives rise to dynamic covalent kinetic resolution (DCKR), a subset of DKR that over the last decades has emerged as increasingly fruitful, with many applications in asymmetric synthesis and catalysis. All DKR protocols are composed of two important parts: substrate racemization and asymmetric transformation, which can lead to yields of >50% with good enantiomeric excesses (ee) of the products. In DCKR systems, by utilizing reversible covalent reactions as the racemization strategy, the substrate enantiomers can be easily interconverted without the presence of any racemase or transition metal catalyst. Enzymes or other chiral catalysts can then be adopted for the resolution step, leading to products with high enantiopurities. This tutorial review focuses on the development of DCKR systems, based on different reversible reactions, and their applications in asymmetric synthesis.

Abstract
This Review is aimed at synthetic organic chemists who may be familiar with organometallic catalysis but have no experience with biocatalysis, and seeks to provide an answer to the perennial question: if it is so attractive, why wasn't it extensively used in the past? The development of biocatalysis in industrial organic synthesis is traced from the middle of the last century. Advances in molecular biology in the last two decades, in particular genome sequencing, gene synthesis and directed evolution of proteins, have enabled remarkable improvements in scope and substantially reduced biocatalyst development times and cost contributions. Additionally, improvements in biocatalyst recovery and reuse have been facilitated by developments in enzyme immobilization technologies. Biocatalysis has become eminently competitive with chemocatalysis and the biocatalytic production of important pharmaceutical intermediates, such as enantiopure alcohols and amines, has become mainstream organic synthesis. The synthetic space of biocatalysis has significantly expanded and is currently being extended even further to include new-to-nature biocatalytic reactions.

Abstract
Herein, we described photoenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of amines under mild conditions. The racemization of amines via a photoredox-mediated hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) protocol in conjunction with an enzyme catalyst to achieve the DKR of amines allows a variety of primary amines to be converted into a single enantiomer in high yield and with excellent enantioselectivity. Notably, this protocol can also be extended to 1,4-diamine derivatives with high levels of diastereo- and enantioselectivity.

Abstract
A mild and practical method for the catalytic installation of the amino group across alkenes and alkynes has long been recognized as a significant challenge in synthetic chemistry. As the direct hydroamination of olefins using ammonia requires harsh conditions, the development of suitable electrophilic aminating reagents for formal hydroamination methods is of importance. Herein, we describe the use of 1,2-benzisoxazole as a practical electrophilic primary amine source. Using this heterocycle as a new amino group delivery agent, a mild and general protocol for the copper-hydride-catalyzed hydroamination of alkenes and alkynes to form primary amines was developed. This method provides access to a broad range of chiral α-branched primary amines and linear primary amines, as demonstrated by the efficient synthesis of the antiretroviral drug maraviroc and the formal synthesis of several other pharmaceutical agents.

Abstract
Dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) reactions in which a stereoselective enzyme and a racemization step are coupled in one pot would represent powerful tools for the production of enantiopure amines through enantioconvergence of racemates. The exploitation of DKR strategies is currently hampered by the lack of effective, enzyme-compatible and scalable racemization strategies for amines. In the present work, the proof of concept of a fully biocatalytic method for amine racemization is presented. Both enantiomers of the model compound 1-methyl-3-phenylpropylamine could be racemized in water and at room temperature using a couple of wild-type, non-proprietary, enantiocomplementary amine transaminases and a minimum amount of pyruvate/alanine as a co-substrate couple. The biocatalytic simultaneous parallel cascade reaction presented here poses itself as a customizable amine racemization system with potential for the chemical industry in competition with traditional transition-metal catalysis.

Abstract
In the period 1985 to 1995 applications of biocatalysis, driven by the need for more sustainable manufacture of chemicals and catalytic, (enantio)selective methods for the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, largely involved the available hydrolases. This was followed, in the next two decades, by revolutionary developments in protein engineering and directed evolution for the optimisation of enzyme function and performance that totally changed the biocatalysis landscape. In the same period, metabolic engineering and synthetic biology revolutionised the use of whole cell biocatalysis in the synthesis of commodity chemicals by fermentation. In particular, developments in the enzymatic enantioselective synthesis of chiral alcohols and amines are highlighted. Progress in enzyme immobilisation facilitated applications under harsh industrial conditions, such as in organic solvents. The emergence of biocatalytic or chemoenzymatic cascade processes, often with co-immobilised enzymes, has enabled telescoping of multi-step processes. Discovering and inventing new biocatalytic processes, based on (meta)genomic sequencing, evolving enzyme promiscuity, chemomimetic biocatalysis, artificial metalloenzymes, and the introduction of non-canonical amino acids into proteins, are pushing back the limits of biocatalysis function. Finally, the integral role of biocatalysis in developing a biobased carbon-neutral economy is discussed.

Abstract
Artificial metalloenzymes, resulting from incorporation of a metal cofactor within a host protein, have received increasing attention in the last decade. The directed evolution is presented of an artificial transfer hydrogenase (ATHase) based on the biotin-streptavidin technology using a straightforward procedure allowing screening in cell-free extracts. Two streptavidin isoforms were yielded with improved catalytic activity and selectivity for the reduction of cyclic imines. The evolved ATHases were stable under biphasic catalytic conditions. The X-ray structure analysis reveals that introducing bulky residues within the active site results in flexibility changes of the cofactor, thus increasing exposure of the metal to the protein surface and leading to a reversal of enantioselectivity. This hypothesis was confirmed by a multiscale approach based mostly on molecular dynamics and protein-ligand dockings.

Abstract
The development of methods for conjugating a range of molecules to primary amine functional groups has revolutionized the fields of chemistry, biology, and material science. The primary amine is a key functional group and one of the most important nucleophiles and bases used in all of synthetic chemistry. Therefore, tremendous interest in the synthesis of molecules containing primary amines and strategies to devise chemical reactions to react with primary amines has been at the core of chemical research. In particular, primary amines are a ubiquitous functional group found in biological systems as free amino acids, as key side chain lysines in proteins, and in signaling molecules and metabolites and are also present in many natural product classes. Due to its abundance, the primary amine is the most convenient functional group handle in molecules for ligation to other molecules for a broad range of applications that impact all scientific fields. Because of the primary amine's central importance in synthetic chemistry, acid-base chemistry, redox chemistry, and biology, many methods have been developed to efficiently react with primary amines, including activated carboxylic acids, isothiocyanates, Michael addition type systems, and reaction with ketones or aldehydes followed by in situ reductive amination. Herein, we introduce a new traceless, high-yield, fast click-chemistry method based on the rapid and efficient trapping of amine groups via a functionalized dialdehyde group. The click reaction occurs in mild conditions in organic solvents or aqueous media and proceeds in high yield, and the starting dialdehyde reagent and resulting dialdehyde click conjugates are stable. Moreover, no catalyst or dialdehyde-activating group is required, and the only byproduct is water. The initial dialdehyde and the resulting conjugate are both straightforward to characterize, and the reaction proceeds with high atom economy. To demonstrate the broad scope of this new click-conjugation strategy, we designed a straightforward scheme to synthesize a suite of dialdehyde reagents. The dialdehyde molecules were used for applications in cell-surface engineering and for tailoring surfaces for material science applications. We anticipate the broad utility of the general dialdehyde click chemistry to primary amines in all areas of chemical research, ranging from polymers and bioconjugation to material science and nanoscience.

Abstract
A general and practical process for the conversion of prochiral ketones into the corresponding chiral acetates has been realized. An iron carbonyl complex is reported to catalyze the hydrogenation-dehydrogenation-hydrogenation of prochiral ketones. By merging the iron-catalyzed redox reactions with enantioselective enzymatic acylations a wide range of benzylic, aliphatic and (hetero)aromatic ketones, as well as diketones, were reductively acylated. The corresponding products were isolated with high yields and enantioselectivities. The use of an iron catalyst together with molecular hydrogen as the hydrogen donor and readily available ethyl acetate as acyl donor make this cascade process highly interesting in terms of both economic value and environmental credentials.

Abstract
A Ru-based half sandwich complex used in amine and alcohol racemization reactions was found to be active in the splitting of secondary amines to primary amines using NH3. Conversions up to 80% along with very high selectivities were achieved. However, after about 80% conversion the catalyst lost activity. Similar to Shvo's catalyst, the complex might deactivate under the influence of ammonia. It was revealed that not NH3 but mainly the primary amine is responsible for the deactivation.
