Reactions of Molybdo-Reductase. A Novel and Highly Efficient Reduction of Nitrobenzene to Aniline Catalyzed by a Molybdenum-Mediated Oxygen Atom Transfer Reaction

摘要

The study reported here provides strong evidence that oxygen atoms can be transferred from nitroaro-matic compounds to Mo(IV) species. However, a direct oxygen atom transfer reaction involving both species has not been unambiguously demonstrated by a ~(18)O-labeling experiment.
