Abstract
A method is described for the oxidation of organic compounds in which the organic compound that is to be oxidized is brought to reaction in an aqueous solution in the presence of cytochrome P 450, and wherein perfluorinated organic compound is added to the aqueous reaction mixture as activator.
Claims14
A method for oxidizing an organic alkane compound in the presence of a perfluorinated organic compound, said method comprising:
- (i) providing a reaction mixture comprising, in an aqueous solution:
- (a) an alkane compound selected from the group consisting of a C1-C8 alkane,
- (b) a cytochrome P450 enzyme (CYP), and
- (c) a perfluorinated organic compound in an amount sufficient to activate oxidation of the alkane by the CYP;
- and
- (ii) reacting in the provided reaction mixture said alkane compound with said CYP, for a period of time and conditions sufficient to oxidize the alkane compound, thereby obtaining the oxidized organic compound.
