A biocatalytic approach towards a range of 4-aryloxazolidinones is developed using a halohydrin dehalogenase from Ilumatobacter coccineus (HheG) as biocatalyst. The method is based on the HheG-catalyzed α-position regioselective ring-opening of styrene oxide derivatives with cyanate as a nucleophile, producing the corresponding 4-aryloxazolidinones in moderate to good yields. Synthesis of enantiopure 4-aryloxazolidinones is also achievable using chiral epoxide materials. (Figure presented.).
