Microbially nondegradable or only difficultly degradable chlorophenols and methoxylated arenes are oxidized to quinones in a few minutes by a peroxidase model system. This model system is obtained by reaction of a sulfonated metalloporphyrin complex with KHSO 5 . It also oxidizes arenes such as 1,3,5‐trimethoxybenzene, which is attacked neither by ligninase nor by radish peroxidase.
