A novel biocatalytic protocol for CC bond formation is described and is an equivalent to Friedel–Craftsalkylation. S‐Adenosyl‐L‐methionine (SAM), the major methyl donor for biological methylation catalyzed by methyltransferases (Mtases), can perform alkylations (see scheme). These enzymes can accept non‐natural cofactors and transfer functionalities other than methyl onto aromatic substrates.
