N-Nitrosamines by themselves are not significant carcinogens. However, they are activated in the liver by a class of iron-containing enzymes (members of the cytochrome P-450 family). Activation involves the oxidation of a C-H bond next to the amine nitrogen to a C-OH group. OH ОН N=0 N=O Og 'N- H+ H N,+ cyt P-450 N-Nitroso- 2-Нydroxy-N- nitrosopiperidine An alkyl diazonium ion piperidine (a carcinogen) Show how this hydroxylation product can be transformed into an alkyl diazonium ion, an active alkylating agent and therefore a carcinogen, in the presence of an acid catalyst.
