Abstract
Amavadine, a vanadium natural product of the mushroom Amanita muscaria, has been synthesized and its electrochemistry characterized in DMSO, DMF, and water. In each solvent a one electron reversible oxidation couple is observed and the vanadium(V) product is stable. In DMSO the couple is at 0.03 V versus SCE and in water it occurs at 0.53 V. Several model complexes show irreversible oxidations at much higher potentials. The unique electrochemistry of Amavadine, as compared to the model complexes, suggests that it may function as an electron-transfer catalyst in the mushroom.
