Abstract

Systems with pentafluoroiodosylbenzene (PFIB) and hemin (FeTPPCl 8 Cl) in dichloromethane were adopted to study the activities of the model system using toluenes as substrates for P450 enzymes. The oxidation products were mainly corresponding benzyl alcohols and benzaldehydes. Previously reported suspension systems were extended to homogeneous mixed solution systems of CH 2 Cl 2/CH 3 OH/H 2 O to study the oxidation ...
