Abstract:<p>Stereoselective bond-forming reactions are essential tools in modern organic synthesis. However, catalytic strategies for controlling the stereochemical outcome of radical-mediated C–C bond formation remain underdeveloped.<b> </b>Here, we report an ‘ene’-reductase catalyzed asymmetric hydroalkylation of olefins using α-bromoketones as radical precursors. In these reactions, radical initiation occurs <i>via</i> ground-state electron transfer from the flavin cofactor located with… Show more
