THE DEHALOGENATION OF DIHALOGENOMETHYLENEBISPHOSPHONATES
Phosphorus and Sulfur and the Related Elements, 1984Abstract Tetraesters of dihalogenomethylenebisphosphonic acids undergo nucleophilic dehalogenation with potassium fluoride or hydroxide in solution in acetonitrile in the presence of [18,6]-crown ether. Fluoride ion is the best nucleophile for dehalogenation and there is no evidence for nucleophilic displacement of halide ion by attack at the central ...

Biochemistry of Catabolic Reductive Dehalogenation
Annual Review of Biochemistry, 2017A wide range of phylogenetically diverse microorganisms couple the reductive dehalogenation of organohalides to energy conservation. Key enzymes of such anaerobic catabolic pathways are corrinoid and Fe–S cluster–containing, membrane-associated reductive dehalogenases.

Biocatalysis by Dehalogenating Enzymes
2007This chapter discusses dehalogenase enzymes and its types. The chapter emphasizes on the microbial origin and distribution of these enzymes, their biochemical properties, and their engineering and use in biocatalysis. Dehalogenases comprise a diverse group of enzymes belonging to different phylogenetic and mechanistic classes.

GENETICS AND BIOCHEMISTRY OF DEHALOGENATING ENZYMES
Annual Review of Microbiology, 1994Microorganisms that can utilize halogenated compounds as a growth substrate generally produce-enzymes whose function is carbon-halogen bond cleavage. Based on substrate range, reaction type and gene sequences, the dehalogenating enzymes can be classified in different groups, including hydrolytic dehalogenases, glutathione transferases, monooxygenases ...

Biological dehalogenation and halogenation reactions
Chemosphere, 2003A large number of halogenated compounds is produced by chemical synthesis. Some of these compounds are very toxic and cause enormous problems to human health and to the environment. Investigations on the degradation of halocompounds by microorganisms have led to the detection of various dehalogenating enzymes catalyzing the removal of halogen atoms ...

Environmental Dehalogenation: Chemistry and Mechanism
1998The halogen cycle is one of the great chemical cycles on earth. Haloorganics are both synthesized and destroyed by the chemistry that controls their flux and form. The synthetic leg of the cycle is both biotic and abiotic in nature. The biotic synthesis results primarily from the biochemical activity of marine algae and kelp, although these are by no ...
