INTRODUCTION OF FUNCTIONAL GROUPS INTO 6 POSITION OF PYRIDOXAL Yasuhiro Yamada*, Toshio Hayashi, Yuichi Fusho and Hirosuke Okada Department of Fermentation Technology, Faculty of Engineering, Osaka University, Yamadakami, Suita-shi, Osaka, Japan
Summary: The synthesis of 6-acylpyridoxal, 6-carboxyethylpyridoxal and 6-(3'aminopropyl)pyridoxal derivatives are described. Pyridoxal-5'-phosphate
(2), the active form of vitamin B6, is a coenzyme of
many enzymes which catalyze transamination, decarboxylation, deamination, $elimination and B-substitution of amino acids. Pyridoxal activities. 1)
(l), (2) and their derivatives also show some physiological These facts have stimulated studies on the relation of their
structure and activities.
Although many derivatives of V.B6 were reported, of
which greater part were modified in position other than 6 position of their pyridine ring and only a few of them have a substituent on 6 position. lb, 2) In order to obtain variants of pyridoxal or pyridoxal-5'-phosphate which retain their coenzyme activities and are applicable to immobilized coenzymes, the introduction of carbon functional groups into open 6 position of pyridoxal and elongation of them to appropriate spacers is a promising method. In this communication, we wish to describe an acylation of 6 position of appropriately protected pyridoxal via its lithium compound and preparation of some 6-substituted pyridoxal derivatives. Bromination of pyridoxal with pyridinium hydrobromide perbromide in CHC13 at room temperature with vigorous stirring for 3 h gave 6-bromopyridoxal
