DEOXYGENATION OF TERTIARY AMINE N-OXIDES AND ARENE OXIDES BY IRON (II) PORPHYRIN AS A MODEL OF CYTOCHROME P-450 DEPENDENT REDUCTION

抄録

Tetraphenylporphinatoiron (II), a model complex of reduced cytochrome P-450, reduces several substrates such as tertiary amine N-oxides and arene oxides at room temperature in anaerobic conditions. A process for the direct oxene transfer from oxide to reduced iron porphyrin is suggested.
