Abstract

A radical B12 synthesis: A recently described blue 7,8-secocorrinoid, a degradation product of vitamin B12, has a remarkable structural predisposition for ring closure. Reductive reconstitution of the corrin macrocycle by means of a stereospecific radical reaction leads to a 7-epicobalamin. Human B12-binding proteins bind this vitamin B12 analogue significantly less strongly than natural cobalamins.
