A new heme–thiolate peroxidase catalyzes the hydroxylation of n-alkanes at the terminal position—a challenging reaction in organic chemistry—with H2O2as the only cosubstrate. Besides the primary product, 1-dodecanol, the conversion of dodecane yielded dodecanoic, 12-hydroxydodecanoic, and 1,12-dodecanedioic acids, as identified by GC–MS. Dodecanal could be detected only in trace amounts, and 1,12-dodecanediol was not observed, thus suggesting that dodecanoic acid is the branch point between mono- and diterminal hydroxylation. Simultaneously, oxygenation was observed at other hydrocarbon chain positions (preferentially C2 and C11). Similar results were observed in reactions of tetradecane. The pattern of products formed, together with data on the incorporation of18O from the cosubstrate H218O2, demonstrate that the enzyme acts as a peroxygenase that is able to catalyze a cascade of mono- and diterminal oxidation reactions of long-chain n-alkanes to give carboxylic acids.

By identification of the 18O isotope label in the oligomeric peroxide obtained by ozonization of a cyclic olefin in the presence of heavy oxygen and also in the product from catalytic isomerization of this peroxide ( the α,ο-dicarboxylic acids or its dimethyl ester ) it was shown that oxygen enters the ozonolysis product when the reaction is carried out in ether solvents.It is suggested that the increased content of active oxygen in the ozonolysis peroxy product is due to oxidation of the ether solvent to form α-hydroperoxide and addition of the latter to the oligomeric zwitterion, solvated by the polar solvents.It was established that the catalytic and thermal isomerization of the oligomeric peroxides and ozonides of cyclic olefins to the α,ο-dicarboxylic acids and ο-formyl carboxylic acids occurs through the oligomeric α-hydroxy peresters and α-hydroxy esters respectively.
