Five flavin (isoalloxazine) and alloxazine adducts with O-nucleophiles, 5-ethyl-4a-hydroxy-3,7,8,10-tetramethyl-4a,5-dihydroisoalloxazine ( 1a-OH), 5-ethyl-4a-hydroxy-3,10-dimethyl-4a,5-dihydroisoalloxazine ( 1b-OH), 5-ethyl-4a-methoxy-3,10-dimethyl-4a,5-dihydroisoalloxazine ( 1b-OMe), 5-ethyl-4a-hydroxy-1,3-dimethyl-4a,5-dihydroalloxazine ( 2a-OH) and 5-ethyl-4a-methoxy-1,3-dimethyl-4a,5-dihydroalloxazine ( 2a-OMe) were prepared from the corresponding salts, 5-ethyl-3,7,8,10-tetramethylisoalloxazinium ( 1a), 5-ethyl-3,10-dimethylisoalloxazinium ( 1b) and 5-ethyl-1,3-dimethylalloxazinium ( 2a) perchlorates by the addition of a nucleophile (water or methanol) and triethylamine as a base. The prepared adducts represent artificial analogs of flavin cofactor derivatives which are essential for the functioning of flavoenzymes. They were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR, HR-MS and UV–VIS spectra. In the cases of 1a-OH, 1b-OH, and 2a-OMe, the crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction. Flavinium and alloxazinium salts are in rapid equilibria with their adducts in water or methanolic solutions without the presence of a base. It was found that the equilibrium constants for flavin adduct formation is higher by six orders of magnitude than those for alloxazine derivatives. The presence of the sp 3 hybridized C4a atom in the molecule of the adducts causes deviation from planarity. The interplanar angles between benzene and the pyrimidine ring were found to be 31.5°, 23.64° and 15.62° for 1a-OH, 1b-OH and 2a-OMe, respectively, which are much higher than those of previously published adducts of C-nucleophiles. In isoalloxazine adducts, delocalization of π electrons between the N10–C10a and C10a–N1 bonds was detected while the length of the N10–C10a and C10a–N1 bonds in the alloxazine adducts corresponds to a double and single bond, respectively.
