Abstract The regio‐ and stereoselective hydroxylation of unactivated C(sp3)‐H bonds is an important reaction in organic synthesis. While bacterial alkane monooxygenase AlkB catalyzes the terminal hydroxylation of aliphatic esters with excellent regioselectivity, the molecular principles of substrate recognition and selectivity of this integral membrane

Structural and evolutionary dissection of NADPH‐binding motifs in NADPH‐preferring ene‐reductases
Abstract Ene‐reductases (ERs) catalyze nicotinamide‐dependent, stereoselective reductions of activated CC bonds. While their catalytic chemistry and applications are well‐explored, cosubstrate (NAD(P)H) binding remains poorly understood. Most ERs strongly prefer NADPH despite lacking canonical dinucleotide‐binding folds and instead employ flexible ...

Transaminase and Norcoclaurine Synthase One‐Pot Cascades Towards (1S)‐Tetrahydroisoquinolines
A TAm‐NCS cascade towards THIQs has been established, starting from amines with the in situ production of aldehydes. The cascade was used with a variety of nonfunctionalized and functionalized amines, and reaction conditions modified to enhance formation of the desired cross‐products.

Given the prominence of 19F‐bioNMR in structural research, fluorinated glycans hold enormous potential in glycomimetic frameshift design. However, challenges associated with the stereocontrolled synthesis of these disruptive actors continue to frustrate advances. To address this, the automated synthesis of selectively C‐2 fluorinated glycans related to

Amide bond formation is central to active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) synthesis. A bio‐organocatalytic cascade is reported, merging stereoselective ω‐transaminase (ω‐TA) transamination in neat organic solvent with choline chloride‐mediated amidation under solvent‐free microwave conditions.

Arylhydrazines: Convenient Homogeneous Reductants for Scalable Cross‐Coupling
Reductive cross‐couplings enable efficient C–C bond formation but are limited by the heterogeneity of Zn or costly reagents like TDAE. We report arylhydrazines as inexpensive, convenient reductants for Ni‐catalyzed sp2–sp3 coupling of aryl halides and secondary alkyl iodides. Mechanistic studies support hydrazine‐mediated NiII reduction for a NiI/NiIII
