Although abundant in organic mols., carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds are typically considered unreactive and unavailable for chem. manipulation. Recent advances in C-H functionalization technol. have begun to transform this logic, while emphasizing the importance of and challenges associated with selective alkylation at a sp3 carbon. Here we describe iron-based catalysts for the enantio-, regio- and chemoselective intermol. alkylation of sp3 C-H bonds through carbene C-H insertion. The catalysts, derived from a cytochrome P 450 enzyme in which the native cysteine axial ligand has been substituted for serine (cytochrome P411), are fully genetically encoded and produced in bacteria, where they can be tuned by directed evolution for activity and selectivity. That these proteins activate iron, the most abundant transition metal, to perform this chem. provides a desirable alternative to noble-metal catalysts, which have dominated the field of C-H functionalization. The laboratory-evolved enzymes functionalize diverse substrates containing benzylic, allylic or α-amino C-H bonds with high turnover and excellent selectivity. Furthermore, they have enabled the development of concise routes to several natural products. The use of the native iron-haem cofactor of these enzymes to mediate sp3 C-H alkylation suggests that diverse haem proteins could serve as potential catalysts for this abiol. transformation, and will facilitate the development of new enzymic C-H functionalization reactions for applications in chem. and synthetic biol.
