Scheme 4.
Regioselective carboxylation of heteroaromatics: (a) Carboxylation of pyrrole by pyrrole‐2‐carboxylate decarboxylase from Bacillus megaterium (P2CDC_Bm). [44] (b) Carboxylation of indole by indole‐3‐carboxylate‐decarboxylase from Arthrobacter nicotianae (I3CDC_At). [46] (c) Carboxylation of furoic acid to yield 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) catalyzed by reversible prFMN‐dependent decarboxylase HmfF [42] (d) (de)carboxylation of benzo‐fused O‐, N‐, and S‐containing heteroaromatic carboxylic acids catalyzed by evolved AnFdc variants (I327S or I327N). [43] AnFdc=Aspergillus niger ferulic acid decarboxylase.
