## Abstract In humans, uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase is intimately involved in the synthesis of heme, where the decarboxylation of the uroporphyrinogenβIII occurs in a single catalytic site. Several variants of the mechanistic proposal exist; however, the exact mechanism is still debated. Thus, us
MI ## M4 Scheme 1 were treated with equal amounts of acetic acid under identical reaction conditions (20 "C, 2 h). The yields of the cyclic tetrapyrroles were determined by HPLC with 5,5,10,10,15,15,20,20-octamethylporphyrinogen as internal The reaction of 2 gave no identifiable products; 3 prov
