Pteridines CVII* Synthesis of 6-Azidomethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin. Photo degradation Products and Cofactor Properties on Aromatic Amino Acid Monooxygenases

The synthesis of 6-azidomethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin (6-AzmH4Ptr) (9) starting from 2,4-diamino- 6-hydroxymethylpteridine (1) is described. A special protecting group strategy had to be applied to perform the structural modifications. The introduction of the azido function was achieved by a Mitsu...
