Abstract
Bromoperoxidases do not directly oxidize the chloride ion; nevertheless, in the presence of bromide ions, chloride ions and hydrogen peroxide, bromoperoxidases react with alkenes and alkynes to produce bromochloroderivatives. This same reaction is catalysed when seawater is the source of chloride and bromide ions. This suggests that bromonium ion-induced biosynthesis of chlorinated metabolites occurs in marine environments. The role of iodonium ions in the biosynthesis of chlorinated metabolites is also discussed.
