Stereochemistry of dehydrogenation catalysed by the amine oxidase from pea seedlings (E.C.1.4.3.5.)
Abstract
(R)- and (S)-[methylene-3H1]Benzylamines are synthesised with configurational purities greater than 95%; they are used to prove that pea-seedling amine oxidase abstracts the pro-S hydrogen from the methylene group of benzylamine.
