Myoglobin-catalyzed intermolecular carbene N-H insertion with arylamine substrates.

ABSTRACT: Engineered variants of the heme-containing protein myoglobin can efficiently catalyze the insertion of α-diazo esters into the N-H bond of arylamines, featuring a combination of high chemoselectivity, elevated turnover numbers, and broad substrate scope.
