The Enzymatic Asymmetric Conjugate Umpolung Reaction

Abstract

The Stetter reaction employs synthetically useful umpolung reactivity to provide catalytic access to 1,4-bifunctional molecules. The first enzymatic 1,4-addition is described, with the ThDP-dependent enzyme PigD, which makes the challenging asymmetric intermolecular Stetter reaction accessible.
