The Elbs and Boyland-Sims peroxydisulfate oxidations

Revised mechanism of Boyland-Sims oxidation.

New computational insights into the mechanism of the Boyland-Sims oxidation of arylamines with peroxydisulfate (S(2)O(8)(2-)) in an alkaline aqueous solution are presented. The key role of arylnitrenium cations, in the case of primary and secondary arylamines, and arylamine dications and immonium cations, in the case of tertiary arylamines, in the formation of corresponding o-aminoaryl sulfates...

Metabolism of polycyclic compounds. 15. The conversion of naphthalene into a derivative of glutathione by rat-liver slices.

The oxidation of tryptophan and some related compounds with persulphate.

Conjugations with glutathione. Distribution of glutathione S-aryltransferase in vertebrate species.

Booth, Boyland & Sims (1961) described and partially purified an enzyme from the soluble supernatant of rat liver which catalyses conjugations of glutathione with aromatic compounds to form thio ethers as a first stage in mercapturic acid biosynthesis, and an apparently similar enzyme has been shown to be involved in processes leading to the biliary excretion of sulphobromophthalein (phenoltetr...
