Norcarane is a mechanistic probe of monooxygenase enzymes that is able to detect the presence of cationic or radical intermediates. The addition of substituents around the bicycloheptane ring of the norcarane scaffold can assist in improving enzyme binding affinity and thus improve the regioselectivity of oxidation. Here we prepare in three-step, diastereoselective syntheses, ten norcaranes monosubstituted α to the cyclopropane as advanced probes. Four of these compounds were examined in enzyme binding experiments to evaluate their potential as probe substrates. Additionally, 19 potential products of enzymatic oxidation were generated via two additional synthetic steps for use as product standards in future studies.

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) publishes original and high impact research and reviews in organic chemistry. We welcome research that shows new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies in total synthesis, synthetic methodology or physical and theoretical organic chemistry as well as research that shows a significant advance in the organic chemistry or molecular design aspects of chemical biology, catalysis, supramolecular and macromolecular chemistry, theoretical chemistry, mechanism-oriented physical organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry or natural products. Articles published in the journal should report new work which makes a highly-significant impact in the field. Routine and incremental work is generally not suitable for publication in the journal. More details about key areas of our scope are below. In all cases authors should include in their article clear rationale for why their research has been carried out.
