In this contribution, we report chemoenzymatic bromodecarboxylation (Hunsdiecker-type) of α,ß-unsaturated carboxylic acids. The extraordinarily robust chloroperoxidase from <i>Curvularia inaequalis</i> (<i>Ci</i>VCPO) generated hypobromite from H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and bromide, which then spontaneously reacted with a broad range of unsaturated carboxylic acids and yielded the corresponding vinyl bromide products. Selectivity issues arising from the (here undesired) addition of water to the ...[more]
