Controlling the enantioselectivity of hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactions has been a long-standing synthetic challenge. While recent advances on photoenzymatic catalysis have demonstrated great potential non-natural photoenzymes, all transformations are initiated by single-electron reduction substrate, with only one notable exception. Herein, we report an oxidation-initiated enantioselective hydrosulfonylation olefins using novel mutant gluconobacter ene-reductase (GluER-W100F-W342F). Compared to known systems, our approach does not rely formation electron donor–acceptor complex between substrates and enzyme cofactor simplifies reaction system obviating addition regeneration mixture.
