In silico design of potentially functional artificial metallo-haloalkane dehalogenase containing catalytic zinc by Thiau, Fu Ang, Salleh, Abu Bakar, Mohd Yahaya, Normi, Thean, Chor Leow

“…The simple catalytic mechanism proposed is that the metal ion interacted with halogen and polarized the carbon–halogen bond, thus making the alpha carbon susceptible to attack by nucleophilic hydroxide. …”

Studies of the saturate and aromatic hydrocarbon unresolved complex mixtures in petroleum by Warton, Benjamin

“…This reagent cleaves the alkyl substituents attached to aromatic rings between the alpha and beta carbons and oxidises the alpha carbon to a carboxylate group. A biodegraded crude oil was chosen because the majority of the resolved components have been removed by biodegradation, leaving a complex mixture of compounds almost completely unresolved by gas chromatography. …”
