Abstract

Criss-cross catalysis: H. Zhao, J. F. Hartwig and co-workers have combined homogeneous alkene metathesis and biocatalysis in a concurrent fashion. A ruthenium–N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex provides an equilibrating mixture of cross metathesis products. The selective simultaneous epoxidation by cytochrome P450 BM3 enables product yields well above the hypothetical two-step process.
