Anisole undergoes demethylation to phenol by CYP450. Draw the full mechanism for the demethylation showing any intermediates that are formed in the reaction. The involvement of Fe should be shown, however, the haem structure and oxidation cycle for Fe in the CYP450 enzyme is is not required in this answer.
