| Abstract | Anaerobic bacteria transform aromatic halides through reductive dehalogenation. This dehalorespiration is catalyzed by the supernucleophilic coenzyme vitamin B12, cob(I)alamin, in reductive dehalogenases. So far, the underlying inner-sphere electron transfer (ET) mechanism has been discussed controversially. In the present study, all 36 chloro-, bromo-, and fluorobenzenes and full-size cobalamin are analyzed at the quantum chemical density functional theory level with respect to a wide range of theoretically possible inner-sphere ET mechanisms. The calculated reaction free energies within the framework of CoI···X (X = F, Cl, and Br) attack rule out most of the inner-sphere pathways. The only route with feasible energetics is a proton-coupled two-ET mechanism that involves a B12 side-chain tyrosine (modeled by phenol) as a proton donor. For 12 chlorobenzenes and 9 bromobenzenes with experimental data from Dehalococcoides mccartyi strain CBDB1, the newly proposed PC-TET mechanism successfully discriminates 16 of 17 active from 4 inactive substrates and correctly predicts the observed regiospecificity to 100%. Moreover, fluorobenzenes are predicted to be recalcitrant in agreement with experimental findings. Conceptually, based on the Bell–Evans–Polanyi principle, the computational approach provides novel mechanistic insights and may serve as a tool for predicting the energetic feasibility of reductive aromatic dehalogenation. |
