The iron( III ) porphyrin 1 catalyzes the chlorination of activated CH bonds. It is therefore a model compound for the as yet unidentified intermediate of the catalytic cycle of the heme–thiolate protein chloroperoxidase (CPO). Neither “free HOCl” nor Cl • are involved in the CPO‐catalyzed chlorination, but rather an iron‐bound HOCl is the source of Cl + .
