Abstract
Eight different flavin derivatives have been synthesized and the electronic effects of substituents in various positions on the flavin redox chemistry were investigated. The redox potentials of the flavins, determined by cyclic voltammetry, correlated with their efficiency as catalysts in the H2O2 oxidation of methyl p-tolyl sulfide. Introduction of electron-withdrawing groups increased the stability of the reduced catalyst precursor.
