We demonstrate theoretically that the abstraction reaction $A+B_2 \to AB+B$ can be driven coherently and efficiently with quantum-degenerate bosonic or fermionic matter waves. We show that the initial stages of the reaction are dominated by quantum fluctuations, resulting in the appearance of macroscopic non-classical correlations in the final atomic and molecular fields. The dynamics associated with the creation of bosonic and of fermionic dimer-atom pairs are also compared. This study opens up a promising new regime of quantum degenerate matter-wave chemistry.
