Selective C-H functionalization at distal positions remains a highly challenging problem in organic synthesis. Though Nature has evolved a myriad of enzymes capable of such feat, their synthetic utility has largely been overlooked. Here, we functionally characterize an α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase (Fe/αKG) that selectively hydroxylates the ? position of various aliphatic amino acids. Kinetic analysis and substrate profiling of the enzyme show superior catalytic efficiency and substrate promiscuity relative to other Fe/αKGs that catalyze similar reactions. We demonstrate the practical utility of this transformation in the concise syntheses of a rare alkaloid, manzacidin C, and densely substituted amino acid derivatives with remarkable step efficiency. This work provides a blueprint for future applications of Fe/αKG hydroxylation in complex molecule synthesis and the development of powerful synthetic paradigms centered on enzymatic C-H functionalization logic.

A new series of 4,4′-disubstituted prolines (1a-h) has been developed and tested as organocatalysts in the direct catalytic asymmetric aldol reaction of several aliphatic ketones with aldehydes. Catalyst 1g affords the best enantioselectivities for this transformation. The reaction was carried out in DMF using a catalyst loading of 10 mol% at -10°C to give the aldol products in up to 97% ee for acetone. In the cases of cyclohexanone and cyclopentanone, the corresponding anti-products were obtained in 94% ee.
