The reduction of α-bromocamphor to camphor by N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) at high temperatures (> 200 °C) proceeds via a free radical chain sequence. The reduction can be effected with DMA or triethylamine (TEA) in acetonitrile at much lower temperatures in the presence of di-tert-butylperoxide. The chain termination step is the dimerization of the camphor radical. These reductions presumably constitute an example of an electron transfer chain mechanism involving a tertiary amine as the chain propagating species. Keywords: reduction, tertiary amines, α-bromocamphor, chain reaction.

ABSTRACT A new cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, FcpC, from Streptomyces virginiae IBL-14 has been identified. This enzyme is found to be responsible for the bioconversion of a pyrano-spiro steroid (diosgenone) to a rare nuatigenin-type spiro steroid (isonuatigenone), which is a novel C-25-hydroxylated diosgenone derivative. A whole-cell P450 system was developed for the production of isonuatigenone via the expression of the complete three-component electron transfer chain in an Escherichia coli strain.
