Abstract: | The oxidation of norbornane by a reconstituted liver cytochrome P-450 system affords - and -2-norborneol in a ratio of 3.4:1. The ratio of these products was found to be 0.76:1 when -2,3,5,6-tetradueteronorbornane was oxidized. Analysis of the mass spectra of the products from the deuterated hydrocarbon showed that 25% of the -norborneol contained four deuterium atoms whereas 9% of the -norborneol contained three deuterium atoms. These results, which indicate a very large isotope effect () and a significant amount of epimerization for the hydroxylation of norbornane by cytochrome P-450, suggest an initial hydrogen abstraction to give a carbon radical intermediate. |
