Engineered myoglobins and other hemoproteins have recently emerged as promising catalysts for asymmetric olefin cyclopropanation reactions via carbene-transfer chemistry. Despite this progress, the transformation of electron-poor alkenes has proven to be very challenging using these systems. Here, we describe the design of a myoglobin-based carbene transferase incorporating a non-native iron-porphyrin cofactor and axial ligand, as an efficient catalyst for the asymmetric cyclopropanation of electron-deficient alkenes. Using this metalloenzyme, a broad range of both electron-rich and electron-deficient alkenes are cyclopropanated with high efficiency and high diastereo- A nd enantioselectivity (up to >99% de and ee). Mechanistic studies revealed that the expanded reaction scope of this carbene transferase is dependent upon the acquisition of metallocarbene radical reactivity as a result of the reconfigured coordination environment around the metal center. The radical-based reactivity of this system diverges from the electrophilic reactivity of myoglobin and most of the known organometallic carbene-transfer catalysts. This work showcases the value of cofactor redesign toward tuning and expanding the reactivity of metalloproteins in abiological reactions, and it provides a biocatalytic solution to the asymmetric cyclopropanation of electron-deficient alkenes. The metallocarbene radical reactivity exhibited by this biocatalyst is anticipated to prove useful in the context of a variety of other synthetic transformations.
