The metabolism of three arylamine substrates by H2O2 in the presence of each of the peroxidative enzymes chloroperoxidase (CPX) and pea seed peroxygenase (PSM) was conducted with normal H2O2 and with 18O-labeled H2O2. The resulting C-nitroso aromatic metabolites were examined by GC-MS methods to determine the extent of 18O incorporation. The arylamine substrates were p-toluidine, 4-chloroaniline, and 3,4-dichloroaniline. For both enzymes, all three arylamines were found to give quantitative incorporation of 18O into their nitroso metabolites when [18O]H2O2 was the oxidant substrate. The introduction of the oxygen atom into 4-chloronitrosobenzene was found to occur during the first step of this process, since it was found that when (4-chlorophenyl)hydroxylamine was employed as the substrate, no significant incorporation of 18O occurred. These observations prove that CPX and PSM cause N-oxidation of primary arylamines via an oxygen transfer from the compound I activated forms of their heme functional groups. Therefore, these peroxidases are correctly called peroxygenases when acting in such a manner. A discussion of the reaction mechanisms for peroxidases and their relation to cytochrome P-450 oxidations is presented.

Visible light-promoted α-aminoalkyl radical-triggered α-aminoalkylation and α-diaminoalkylation of Morita-Baylis-Hillman acetates with -methyl arylamines to synthesize -containing alkyl acrylates and γ,γ-diaminobutyl esters was reported. Photoinduced α-aminoalkylation is carried out with Na-eosin Y as an organophotocatalyst at room temperature under metal- and oxidant-free conditions. In particular, the α-diaminoalkylation is performed via α-aminoalkyl radical addition/elimination followed by a catalyst-controlled selective α-aminoalkyl radical addition strategy in one step under the [Ir(dtbbpy)(bpy))]PF/KF catalytic system.

The β-arylethylamine pharmacophore is commonly found in medications for central nervous system disorders, prompting the need for safe and efficient methods to endow this motif with relevant functional groups for drug discovery. In this context, herein, we have established electrochemical radical sulfonylation reactions of -allylbenzamides followed by Truce-Smiles rearrangement to produce sulfone- and sulfonate ester-containing β-arylethylamines. Electricity enables this transformation to occur under mild and oxidant-free conditions.

Herein, we present a copper-catalyzed method for oxidative α-double bond formation in α-amino ketone compounds using DTBP as the oxidant. This process, involving homocoupling of α-amino radicals and arylamine release, efficiently produces a series of enaminone skeletons. The strategy has a broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance.

Laccases play a vital role in the degradation of toxic phenolic and aromatic amine compounds, generating considerable attention in ecological pollution remediation. However, the distinct mechanism of the laccase-catalyzed oxidation of phenols and arylamines remains unclear. Here, we examined the catalytic oxidation mechanisms of phenols and arylamines by (TvL) and (MaL) laccases using molecular docking, quantum mechanics (QM), and QM/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations.
