Abstract
A chemoenzymatic method for the halocyclization of unsaturated alcohols and acids by using the robust V-dependent chloroperoxidase from Curvularia inaequalis (CiVCPO) as catalyst has been developed for the in situ generation of hypohalites. A broad range of halolactones and cyclic haloethers are formed with excellent performance of the biocatalyst.
