Frustrated Lewis pairs: A real alternative to deuteride/tritide reductions
Doubková, Sabina,Marek, Ale?
, p. 729 - 742 (2019)
Deuterium- and tritium-labeled compounds play a principal role in tracing of biologically active molecules in complicated biochemical systems. The state-of-the-art techniques using noble metal catalysts or strong reducing agents often suffers from low fun
Side Chain Hydroxylation of Aromatic Compounds by Fungi. Part 4. Influence of the para Substituent on Kinetic Isotope Effects During Benzylic Hydroxylation by Mortierella isabellina

The benzylic hydroxylation of a series of para-substituted toluenes by the fungus Mortierella isabellina has been studied by using CD3, CHD2, and CH2D methyl labelled substrates.Inter- and intramolecular primary and secondary deuterium kinetic isotope effect ratios have been determined: the intermolecular primary effects are maximal with strongly electron-withdrawing para substituents (R = CN and CF3), while the intramolecular primary effects are minimal for R = H but increase in instances where R is electron donating or withdrawing.These results are interpreted in terms of a dependence of the hydroxylation mechanism on the nature of the para substituent.
