A Highly Reactive and Catalytically Active Model System for Inlradvoi-Cleaviug Catechol Dioxygenases: Structure and Reactivity of Iron(III) Catecholate Complexes of N,N'-Dimethyl-2, 11-diaza[3.3](2,6) pyridinophane

摘要

Intradiol-cleaving catechol dioxygenasc represents a class of bacterial enzymes that catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of the intradiol-C -C bond of various catechol derivatives with molecular oxygen, yielding the corresponding muconie acid [Eq. (a)).
