METHYLNAPHTHALENE OXIDATIONS BY PSEUDOMONADS

Toxicological Profile for Naphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene, and 2-methylnaphthalene

Oxidations by Acetobacter Suboxydans

Acetobacter suboxydans is known to bring about oxidation of polyhydroxy compounds. The action of the bacterial enzyme is limited, however, to substances with specific configurations. According to the generalization of Bertrand,’ only those hydroxyl groups are oxidized which are situated between a primary hydroxyl group and a secondary one in a cis position. Hann, Tilden, and Hudson,2 in a compa...

Toxicological Profile for Naphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene, and 2-methylnaphthalene

Catalytic oxidations by vanadium complexes

Vanadium haloperoxidases catalyse the oxidation of halides leading to halogenation of substrates or, in the absence of suitable substrates, to oxidation of hydrogen peroxide into singlet oxygen and water. Furthermore, V-haloperoxidases are capable to give enantioselective sulfoxidation under the appropriate conditions. The most interesting model compounds that have been synthesised and studied ...
