The quest to capture the catalytic power of enzymes is one of the great challenges of modern chemistry. A novel system inspired by the principles of enzymatic catalysis combines recognition of the substrate and transition‐metal catalysis (see scheme; Do=donor, FG=functional group) and mimics enzyme properties—high efficiency, substrate selectivity, and reaction‐site selectivity.
