Photoenzymatic intermolecular hydroalkylations of olefins are highly enantioselective for chiral centers formed during radical termination but poorly selective for centers set in the C–C bond-forming event. Here, we report the evolution of a flavin-dependent “ene”-reductase to catalyze the coupling of α,α-dichloroamides with alkenes to afford α-chloroamides in good yield with excellent chemo- and stereoselectivity
