Dimethylbezimidazole, the axial ligand of vitamin B(12), is synthesized from riboflavin by a two-electron oxidation, a retro-aldol condensation, and a second two-electron oxidation. This oxidative cascade readily takes place nonenzymatically under physiological conditions. [reaction: see text]
二甲基苯并咪唑是维生素B12的轴向配体,由核黄素通过两步双电子氧化、一步逆羟醛缩合反应以及第二步双电子氧化反应合成。这种氧化级联反应在生理条件下很容易在非酶作用下发生。[反应:见正文]
