Abstract

Abstract: The ortho substituted phenols, 1 and 3, have been synthesized as models for the 0- methylation of catecholamines, as catalyzed by catechol 0-methyltransferase. The decomposition of 1 and 3 was studied at 40" C over a wide range of pH in both oxyanion and amine buffers. Buffer catalysis of the reaction is observed, and product analyses show that oxyanion buffers catalyze a cyclization reaction to yield chroman (4) or 4, 4- ...
