Non-Electron-Transfer Quinone-Mediated Oxidative Cleavage of Cyclopropylamines. Implications Regarding Their Utility as Probes of Enzyme Mechanism
3,5-Di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone effects oxidative cleavage of cylopropylamine (CPA) and its 1-phenyl analogue via o-quinoneimine intermediates, a reaction which may serve as a model for the inactivation of plasma amine oxidase by CPA.
