Description/Abstract The enzymatic synthesis of ..cap alpha..,..beta..-halohydrins from alkenes is described.^ The enzymatic reaction required an alkene, a halide ion, dilute hydrogen peroxide, and a haloperoxidase enzyme.^ A wide range of gaseous alkenes were suitable for this reaction, including those containing isolated, conjugated, and cumulative carbon-carbon double bonds.^ Chlorohydrins, bromohydrins, and iodohydrins could be formed.^ The combining of this enzymatic synthesis with a previously described enzymatic synthesis of epoxides from ..cap alpha..,..beta..-halohydrins provides an alternate pathway, other than the well-known enzymatic direct epoxidation pathway, from alkene to an epoxide.
