Abstract
The ring expansion of 3-hydroxyindolin-2-one to 2-hydroxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one (HBOA) was investigated by labelling experiments. Action of the cytochrome P450 enzyme BX4 from maize on 3-hydroxyindolin-2-one under an 18O2 atmosphere induced production of 2-hydroxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one in which the ring oxygen - but not the 2-hydroxy group of HBOA - is labelled. A mechanism for this transformation is proposed.
