XEC between alkyl halides and nitroalkanes catalyzed by flavin-dependent ‘ene’-reductases. Photoexcitation of the enzyme-templated charge-transfer complex between an alkyl halide and flavin cofactor enables the chemoselective reduction of alkyl halide over the thermodynamically favored nitroalkane partner. The key C–C bond-forming step occurs via the reaction of an alkyl radical with an in situ generated
