Chloroperoxidase (CPO) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) are the only heme peroxidases that catalyze oxidation of the chloride ion (ClÀ) with hydrogen peroxide.[1] CPO is an enzyme from Caldariomyces fumago and catalyzes chlorination reactions in the biosynthesis of chlorine-containing compounds.[2] CPO is also known to exhibit peroxidase, catalase, and cytochrome-P450-like activities.[1b, 3] CPO has a thiolate heme axial ligand like cytochrome P450. This makes CPO distinct from other heme peroxidases which have a histidine imidazole as the heme axial ligand.[1] In contrast, MPO is found in the granules of myelocytes (precursors of neutrophils), and works as a major component of the antimicrobial system of neutrophils.[1c, 4] MPO belongs to the animal peroxidase superfamily and has an imidazole heme axial ligand.[1b] Numerous biological studies have suggested that an oxoiron (IV) porphyrin π-cation radical species known as compound I is responsible for the oxidation of ClÀ and addition of ClÀ to the ferryl oxygen atom of compound I to produce the transient ferric hypochlorite complex FeIIIÀ OCl.[1, 5] The ferric hypochlorite complex is believed to act as a key compound in the reactions leading to chlorination of organic substrates by CPO and antimicrobial activity in MPO. Although the oxidation process has been studied by multimixing stopped-flow experiments in which the transiently formed compound I was reacted with ClÀ,[6] the spectroscopic evidence for the formation of the ferric hypochlorite complex has not been obtained and it remains unclear as to how compound I oxidizes ClÀ. Furthermore, the identity of the true chlorinating agent in the subsequent chlorination of organic substrates is not known and more information is needed about the exact roles of the hypochlorite adduct, free hypochlorous acid, and Cl2.[7] Synthetic iron porphyrin complexes have been widely used as models of heme enzymes with the aim of gaining an understanding of the details of the enzymatic reaction mechanisms. While extensive studies have been shown to form compound I model complexes from various iron (III) porphyrin complexes and oxidants, such as m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, iodosobenzene, and ozone,[8] there are only a few reports of the formation of an OÀX bond between compound I model complexes and halides as models for CPO and MPO.[9] Woggon et al. studied the reactions of iron (III) porphyrin complexes with thiolate axial ligands using either hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide and ClÀ.[9a–c] Chlorinated compounds were produced by these reactions, but the absence of detailed spectroscopic characterizations has raised questions about the reactive species and the mechanism by which ClÀ is oxidized in these reactions. Groves et al. reported that oxomanganese (V) porphyrin oxidizes BrÀ and ClÀ into hypobromite and hypochlorite, respectively.[9d] More recently, Nam, Que et al. reported that an OÀI bond is formed between the compound I model complex and phenyl iodide.[9e] Herein we report the direct observation of the oxidation of ClÀ with synthetic compoundI model complexes and subsequent reactions leading to chlorination of organic compounds (Scheme 1).Compound I model complexes,[(TPFPP+C) FeIVO-(C6F5CO2)] and[(TPFPP+C) FeIVO (NO3)](TPFPP= 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl) porphyrin), were prepared by ozone oxidation of the corresponding ferric porphyrin complexes,[(TPFPP) FeIII (C6F5CO2)] and [(TPFPP) FeIII (NO3)], in dichloromethane at À908C and À808C, respectively.[10] Spectroscopic data of [(TPFPP+C) FeIVO (C6F5CO2)] and [(TPFPP+C) FeIVO (NO3)] were consistent with those of …
