Metalloporphyrins are versatile scaffolds for oxene, carbene, and nitrene transfer reactions. The development of non-natural carbene and nitrene transferases was inspired by natural heme monooxygenases, with Compound I as the key catalytic intermediate [6,7]. These new activities were initially discovered by testing hemoproteins for the ability to mimic known activities of small-molecule metalloporphyrin catalysts [9,10].
