Technologies enabling new enzyme discovery and efficient protein engineering have spurred intense interest in the development of biocatalytic reactions. In recent years, whole‐cell biocatalysis has received attention as a simple, efficient, and scalable biocatalytic reaction platform. Inspired by these developments, we have established a whole‐cell protocol for oxidative dearomatization of phenols using the flavin‐dependent monooxygenase, TropB. This approach provides a scalable biocatalytic platform for accessing gram‐scale quantities of chiral synthetic building blocks.
