Scheme 18

Enantiospecific nitrene transfer to alkyl‐substituted arenes catalysed by engineered P450 monooxygenases. The P411 enzyme has been generated from a P450 monooxygenase by ligand substitution. Note that the reduced (FeII) oxidation state is the catalytically active one. Below: Preliminary product scope; all chiral products are essentially enantiopure.70
