Density functional calculations establish a novel mechanism of aromatic defluorination by P450 Compound I. This is achieved via either an initial epoxide intermediate or through a 1,2-fluorine shift in an electrophilic intermediate, which highlights that the P450s can defluorinate fluoroarenes. However, in the absence of a proton donor a strong Fe-F bond can be obtained as shown from the calculations.
密度泛函计算确定了细胞色素P450复合I进行芳环脱氟的新机制。这是通过初始环氧化物中间体或亲电中间体中的1,2-氟迁移实现的,这突出表明细胞色素P450能够使氟代芳烃脱氟。然而,计算结果表明,在没有质子供体的情况下,可以形成强的铁-氟键。
