The self-sufficient cytochrome P450 monooxygenase CYP505E3 from Aspergillus terreus catalyzes the regioselective in-chain hydroxylation of alkanes, fatty alcohols, and fatty acids at the ω-7 position. It is the first reported P450 to give regioselective in-chain ω-7 hydroxylation of C10–C16 n-alkanes, thereby enabling the one step biocatalytic synthesis of rare alcohols such as 5-dodecanol and 7-tetradecanol. It shows more than 70 percent regioselectivity for the eighth carbon from one methyl terminus, and displays remarkably high activity towards decane (TTN≈8000) and dodecane (TTN≈2000). CYP505E3 can be used to synthesize the high-value flavour compound δ-dodecalactone via two routes: 1) conversion of dodecanoic acid into 5-hydroxydodecanoic acid (24 percent regioselectivity), which at low pH lactonises to δ-dodecalactone, and 2) conversion of 1-dodecanol into 1,5-dodecanediol (55 percent regioselectivity), which can be converted into δ-dodecalactone by horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase.

We report the first manganese catalyzed isomerization of allylic alcohols to produce the corresponding carbonyl compounds. The ligand plays a decisive role in the efficiency of this reaction. Very high conversions could be obtained using a solvent-free reaction system. A detailed DFT study reveals a self-dehydrogenation/hydrogenation reaction mechanism which was verified by the isolation of the α,β-unsaturated ketone as intermediate and a deuterium labeling experiment. It also provided a rationale for the observed selectivity and the higher efficiency of phenyl over isopropyl substitution.

A non-heme tetra-iron cluster, [Fe4 III(μ-O)2(μ-OAc)6(2,2′-bpy)2(H2O)2](NO3 ?)(OH?) (1), [OAc = acetate; 2,2′-bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine] containing oxido- and acetato-bridges was synthesized and structurally characterized by different spectroscopic methods including single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. X-ray crystal structure analysis of 1 revealed that tetra-iron complex was crystallized in monoclinic system with C2/c space group. Each of the Fe centres in 1 was found to exist in octahedral geometry and interconnected by oxido- and acetato-bridges. Bond valence sum (BVS) calculation recommended the existence of iron centres in +3 oxidation state. Variable temperature magnetic measurement authenticated the dominating antiferromagnetic ordering among the iron centres in the solid state of 1. This tetra-iron cluster was also evaluated as an efficient catalytic system towards the oxidation of both linear & cyclic alkanes without production of primary C–H bond oxidation products. Oxidation of secondary C–H bonds attested the formation of both the corresponding alcohols & ketones in 27–900 TONs. The tetra-iron catalytic system with Alcohol/Ketone values 0.2–1.7 indicated the involvement of freely diffusing carbon-centered radicals rather than metal based oxidant.
