The present study investigates the challenging approach of post-polymerization modification on polymers with a sterically demanding reaction center. Therefore, the general possibility to functionalize polymethylene moieties was investigated. Poly(benzyl 2-ylidene-acetate) was synthesized by polymerization of benzyl 2-diazoacetate utilizing [(L-prolinate)RhI(1,5-dimethyl-1,5-cyclooctadiene)] as a catalyst. Subsequently, the modification of C1 polymerized poly(benzyl 2-ylidene-acetate) with amines was analyzed and the obtained data set was compared with experimental data derived for the C2 analog poly(benzyl acrylate). This is the first study on post-polymerization modification utilizing densely functionalized polymethylenes as starting materials.

Artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) are commonly used to control the stereoselectivity of catalytic reactions, but controlling chemoselectivity remains challenging. In this study, we engineer a dirhodium ArM to catalyze diazo cross-coupling to form an alkene that, in a one-pot cascade reaction, is reduced to an alkane with high enantioselectivity (typically >99 % ee) by an alkene reductase. The numerous protein and small molecule components required for the cascade reaction had minimal effect on ArM catalysis. Directed evolution of the ArM led to improved yields and E/Z selectivities for a variety of substrates, which translated to cascade reaction yields. MD simulations of ArM variants were used to understand the structural role of the cofactor on ArM conformational dynamics. These results highlight the ability of ArMs to control both catalyst stereoselectivity and chemoselectivity to enable reactions in complex media that would otherwise lead to undesired side reactions.
