Abstract

The catalytic regio- and stereoselective oxidation of aliphatic C-H bonds by using atmospheric dioxygen as the oxidant is a highly desirable reaction. Reetz and co-workers have recently reported the development of P450(BM3) mutants that oxidise testosterone with greatly increased turnover activity, total stereoselectivity and >95 % regioselectivity.<br /> (Copyright © 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
