Vitamin B12 derivatives catalyze a wide range of organic transformations, but B12-dependent enzymes are underutilized in biocatalysis relative to other metalloenzymes. In this study, we engineered a variant of the transcription factor CarH, called CarH*, that catalyzes styrene C-H alkylation with improved yield and selectivity relative to B12 itself. While the native function of CarH involves transcription regulation via AdoCbl Co(III)-carbon bond cleavage and β-hydride elimination to generate 4’,5’-didehydroadenosine, CarH*-catalyzed styrene alkylation proceeds via non-native oxidative addition and olefin addition coupled with a native-like β-hydride elimination. Mechanistic studies on this reaction echo findings from earlier studies on AdoCbl homolysis under strong cage conditions to suggest that CarH* can enable non-native radical chemistry with improved selectivity relative to B12 itself. These findings lay the groundwork for the development of B12-dependent enzymes as catalysts for a wide range of non-native transformations.

C-radical borylation is an significant approach for the construction of carbon−boron bond. Photochemical borylation of aryl halides successfully applied this strategy. However, precise mechanisms, such as the generation of aryl radicals and the role of base additive(TMDAM) and water, remain controversy in these reactions. In this study, photochemical borylation of aryl halides has been researched by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Indeed, the homolytic cleavage of the C−X bond under irradiation with UV-light is a key step for generation of aryl radicals. Nevertheless, the generation of aryl radicals may also undergo the process of single electron transfer and the heterolytic carbon-halogen bond cleavage sequence, and the latter is favorable during the reaction.
