Role of protonation and of axial ligands in the reductive dechlorination of alkyl chlorides by vitamin B12 complexes. Reductive cleavage of chloroacetonitrile by Co(I) cobalamins and cobinamides.
TL;DR: Cobalt(I) cobalamin and cobinamide are efficient catalysts of the hydrogenolysis of aliphatic chloro compounds, and experiments carried out in DMF with addition of an acid show that a crucial step in the catalytic process is the proton transfer decomposition of the alkylcobalt (II) complex, leading to the product, and closing the catalysttic loop by regeneration of the cobalt( I) complex.
