An efficient rhodium catalyzed Sommelet-Hauser type rearrangement of sulfur ylides derived from α-thioesters and N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles has been successfully accomplished for the synthesis of various functionalized enamides. The developed reaction involves the unprecedented [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of sulfur ylides with the imine motif. Importantly, the method works well with various substituted α-thioesters/-amides/-ketones and substituted N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles and allows the synthesis of diverse enamide derivatives in good to excellent yields. The reaction was also successfully extended to the one-pot synthesis of enamides from terminal alkynes.
MYOGLOBIN-BASED CATALYSTS FOR CARBENE TRANSFER REACTIONS

Methods are provided for carrying out carbene transfer transformations such as olefin cyclopropanation reactions, carbene heteroatom-H insertion reactions (heteroatom = N, S, Si), sigmatropic rearrangement reactions, and aldehyde olefination reactions with high efficiency and selectivity by using a novel class of myoglobin-based biocatalysts. These methods are useful for the synthesis of a variety of organic compounds which contain one or more new carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom (N, S, or Si) bond. The methods can be applied for conducting these transformations in vitro (i.e., using the biocatalyst in isolated form) and in vivo (i.e., using the biocatalyst in a whole cell system).

The first example of a biocatalytic strategy for the synthesis of thioethers via an intermolecular carbene S-H insertion reaction is reported. Engineered variants of sperm whale myoglobin were found to efficiently catalyze this C-S bond forming transformation across a diverse set of aryl and alkyl mercaptan substrates and α-diazoester carbene donors, providing high conversions (60-99%) and high numbers of catalytic turnovers (1100-5400). Furthermore, the enantioselectivity of these biocatalysts could be tuned through mutation of amino acid residues within the distal pocket of the hemoprotein, leading to myoglobin variants capable of supporting asymmetric S-H insertions with up to 49% ee. Rearrangement experiments support a mechanism involving the formation of a sulfonium ylide generated upon attack of the thiol substrate to a heme-bound carbene intermediate. This journal is
