The biocatalytic toolbox has recently been expanded to include enzyme-catalyzed carbene transfer reactions not occurring in Nature. Herein, we report the development of a biocatalytic strategy for the synthesis of enantioenriched α-trifluoromethyl amines through an asymmetric N-H carbene insertion reaction catalyzed by engineered variants of cytochrome c552 from Hydrogenobacter thermophilus. Using a combination of protein and substrate engineering, this metalloprotein scaffold was redesigned to enable the synthesis of chiral α-trifluoromethyl amino esters with up to >99% yield and 95:5 er using benzyl 2-diazotrifluoropropanoate as the carbene donor. When the diazo reagent was varied, the enantioselectivity of the enzyme could be inverted to produce the opposite enantiomers of these products with up to 99.5:0.5 er. This methodology is applicable to a broad range of aryl amine substrates, and it can be leveraged to obtain chemoenzymatic access to enantioenriched β-trifluoromethyl-β-amino alcohols and halides. Computational analyses provide insights into the interplay of protein- and reagent-mediated control on the enantioselectivity of this reaction. This work introduces the first example of a biocatalytic N-H carbenoid insertion with an acceptor-acceptor carbene donor, and it offers a biocatalytic solution for the enantioselective synthesis of α-trifluoromethylated amines as valuable synthons for medicinal chemistry and the synthesis of bioactive molecules.
