Norcarane (1) and spiro[2.5]octane (2) yield different product distributions depending on whether they are oxidized via concerted, radical, or cationic mechanisms. For this reason, these two probes were used to investigate the mechanisms of hydrocarbon hydroxylation by two mammalian and two bacterial cytochrome P450 enzymes. Products indicative of a radical intermediate with a lifetime ranging from 16 to 52 ps were detected during the oxidation of norcarane by P450(cam) (CYP101), P450(BM3) (CYP102), CYP2B1, and CYP2E1. Trace amounts of the cation rearrangement product were observed with norcarane for all but CYP2E1, while no cation or radical rearrangement products were observed for spiro[2.5]octane. The results for the oxidation of norcarane with a radical rearrangement rate of 2 x 10(8) s(-1) are consistent with the involvement of a two-state radical rebound mechanism, while for the slower (5 x 10(7) s(-1)) spiro[2,5]oct-4-yl radical rearrangement products were beyond detection. Taken together with earlier data for the hydroxylation of bicyclo[2.1.0]pentane, which also suggested a 50 ps radical lifetime, these three structurally similar and functionally simple substrates show a consistent pattern of rearrangement that supports a radical rebound mechanism for this set of cytochrome P450 enzymes.
