Radical Mechanism and Stereochemical Control in Consecutive C-C Bond Formation by the Nonheme Iron Enzyme Hvm1.

Iron(II)/2-oxoglutarate-dependent (Fe/2OG) enzymes catalyze consecutive C-C bond formations to assemble complex heterobicyclic ring systems and generate three new stereocenters in piperazine alkaloids helvamide B and the arizonamides through C(sp3)-H activation─a transformation that remains challenging in synthetic che...
