Oxygenase-catalyzed desymmetrization of N,N-dialkyl-piperidine-4-carboxylic acids.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: ?-Butyrobetaine hydroxylase (BBOX) is a 2-oxoglutarate dependent oxygenase that catalyzes the final hydroxylation step in the biosynthesis of carnitine. BBOX was shown to catalyze the oxidative desymmetrization of achiral N,N-dialkyl piperidine-4-carboxylates to give products with two or three stereogenic centers.
