Sigmatropic rearrangements, while rare in biology, offer opportunities for the efficient and selective synthesis of complex chemical motifs. A "P411" serine-ligated variant of cytochrome P450BM3 has been engineered to initiate a sulfimidation/[2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement sequence in whole E. coli cells, a non-natural function for any enzyme, providing access to enantioenriched, protected allylic amines. Five mutations in the enzyme substantially enhance its activity toward this new function, demonstrating the evolvability of the catalyst toward challenging nitrene transfer reactions. The evolved catalyst additionally performs the highly enantioselective imidation of non-allylic sulfides.

Carbene transfer: The electron-rich iron complex Bu4N[Fe(CO) 3(NO)] efficiently catalyzes different carbene-transfer reactions. Various diazo compounds can be used. The high stability of the employed iron complexes is demonstrated by the generation of the diazo reagent in situ and a sequential iron-catalyzed allylic sulfenylation/Doyle-Kirmse reaction. Copyright

A highly regio- and enantioselective allylic alkylation of sodium thiophenoxide has been realized by [Ir(COD)Cl]2/phosphoramidite along with CsF as an additive, producing highly enantioenriched allyl phenyl sulfide compounds with up to 99% ee.
