Description
Summary:In this communication we describe the first example of a biomimetic mononuclear iron complex, [Fe III (Salen)Cl] (Salen = N , N ′-bis(salicylidene)-ethylenediaminato), that highly selectively and efficiently catalyzes the oxidation of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACCH), α-aminoisobutyric acid (AIBH), and alanine (ALAH) to ethylene or the corresponding carbonyl compounds, mimicking the action of the non-heme iron enzyme 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid oxidase (ACCO). [Fe III (Salen)Cl] is applied as catalyst in bio-inspired degradation of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid and other amino acids on the analogy of ACCO.
