Abstract
Imine formation in aqueous solution of kanamycin A with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and other aldehydes was studied by potentiometry, NMR spectroscopy and computational chemistry. It was found that imines are formed with yields near 100 % at pH 7 in equimolar reactant ratio. In order to identify the kanamycin amino groups involved in the reaction, a NMR spectroscopic study was conducted. The structures of possible imines formed between kanamycin and FURAN or PLP were optimized by molecular mechanics with the OPLS-2005 force field. The 1H NMR spectra were calculated at the DFT-GIAO B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory for all structures and compared with the experimentally observed spectra. From these results a probable structure of the imines was proposed. The results obtained in this work show that kanamycin has the ability to form imine derivatives in high yields due to its anion recognition properties. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
