In the first step of the reaction, Histidine-195 abstracts a proton from the 3-hydroxyl of chloramphenicol, promoting a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleophilic_attack nucleophilic attack] from the oxyanion to the thioester bond of the acetyl-CoA. The intermediate produced, 3-acetylchloramphenicol, then rearranges non-enzymatically to 1-acetylchloramphenicol. Regeneration of the 3-hydroxyl allows another round of CAT III catalyzed nucleophilic attack and a 1,3-diacetylchloramphenicol product is formed<ref>PMID:2015231</ref>.
