The fluorescence quenching of 3-cyanoperylene upon electron transfer from N,N-dimethylaniline in three room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) and in binary solvent mixtures of identical viscosity has been investigated using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. This study was stimulated by previous reports

This paper addresses the experimentally observed mechanistic differences between the cytochrome P450-catalyzed N-demethylation of substituted N,N-dimethylanilines (DMA) and of N,N-dimethylbenzamides (DMBA). The two reactions of these substrates are initiated by C-H activation of the methyl groups on the nitrogen. Thus
