Abstract: | A new macrocyclic NADH model 1 has been designed and synthesised. The new model consists of the same subunits as previously reported models. However, the present model is designed as such that the pyridine nitrogen of the nicotinamide units are not incorporated in the macrocyclic framework. Thus, properties such as solubility can easily be varied by alkylation with an appropriate agent. The macrocyclic framework was prepared in 7 steps. Methylation of the pyridine nitrogens followed by reduction gave the desired model. This model compound was found to reduce methyl benzoylformate stereoselectively in good yield with 48% enantiomeric excess. |
