Abstract

Conclusive arguments in favour of a new mechanism of saturated hydrocarbon oxidation were obtained. By the use of steady-state concentration method literature data on exogenous substrates (partially deuterated camphor, norbornane, ethylbenzene) isomerisation in the course of hydroxylation in enzymatic and biomimetic systems are analysed in terms of the new mechanism of oxidation via an intermediate complex containing pentacoordinated carbon. Kinetic parameters of hydrocarbon hydroxylation in various systems are calculated. A self-consistent pattern of the reaction dynamics in the terms of the mechanism proposed was presented.
