(Figure Presented) On home ground: The reaction mechanisms of bacterial alkane-oxidizing cytochrome P450s were determined in their native environment using a novel diagnostic substrate probe, bicyclohexane, in whole cells and cell-free extracts (see picture). Purified P450cam also oxidizes bicyclohexane. Clear evidence for a substrate-based radical with a lifetime of 75-250 ps was obtained.
Use of high pressure in the reduction of organic chlorides with tri-n-butyltin hydride

The use of the high pressure technique enables reduction of organic halides by tri-n-butyltin hydride to be carried out in the absence of a catalyst or free radical initiator.It leads to a better conservation of the structure of the starting material during the reduction.In the case of some unsaturated halides, a new chemoselectivity has been observed in favour of the addition of the hydride on the carbon-carbon double bond.
Dehalogenation of Geminal Dihalocyclopropanes, α,α-Dichlorocyclobutanones, and Haloketones by Means of Magnesium Anthracene*3THF

1,1-Dichloro-2,2,3,3-tetramethylcyclopropane (1a), 7,7-dichloro- and 7,7-dibromonorcarane (1b) react with magnesium anthracene*3THF (2) under stepwise radical reduction to give 9a,b, 11a,b and 10, carbene products 6a,a',b and 7a,b, and the alkylation products 4a,b and 5a,b, respectively.The distribution of the reaction products is strongly dependent upon the substrate and upon the reaction conditions: for instance, 1a in toluene undergoes a highly selective reduction to yield 9a, whereas in THF at low temperature 4a and 5a predominate.The reaction course proposed for the reaction of 1a with 2 is supported by deuteration experiments. α,α-Dichlorocyclobutanones 12a-e can be reduced with 2 to give α-chlorocyclobutanones 13a-e in moderate to good yields; 12d is thereby converted in high purity into endo-13d.The reduction of 2-haloketones 15a-f with 2 in THF to the ketones 16a-f is possible only in low or moderate yields.
