..cap alpha..-hydroxyisopropyl radicals prepared by fast electron irradiation of aqueous solutions containing 2-propanol and acetone were found to reduce monomeric ferrideuteroporphyrin to ferrodeuteroporphyrin with a rate constant of 3.7 x 10/sup 8/ M/sup -1/s/sup -1/. Relaxation of the coordination sphere is found to proceed with a rate constant k greater than or equal to 5 x 10/sup 5/s/sup -1/. Irradiation of such solutions in the added presence of various concentrations of CCl/sub 4/, CHCl/sub 3/, or CH/sub 2/Cl/sub 2/ enabled studies to be made of the reactions of ferri- and ferrodeuteroporphyrin with chlorinated methyl radicals. No reaction of ferrideuteroporphyrin with .CCl/sub 3/ could be detected (k less than or equal to 10/sup 6/ M/sup -1/s/sup -1/). For ferrodeuteroporphyrin it appears that a rapid reaction (k = (2 +- 1) x 10/sup 9/ M/sup -1/s-/sup 1/) gives a complex (DPFe/sup II/-CH/sub 3-n/Cl/sub n/) which undergoes further reaction as shown by transient spectral modifications. These results suggest that ferrous cytochrome P450 is likely to react rapidly with chlorinated radicals. A model for the toxicity and detoxification of CCl/sub 4/ is proposed. 38 references, 6 figures.
