Getting to Know Your Cobalamins R- Group Name CN Cyanocobalamin CH3 Methylcobalamin 5’-deoxyadenosyl Adenosylcobalamin OH Hydroxycobalamin D C
Making a State-ment Co–C bond for Cyanocobalamin (1.86 Å) is short MeCbl and AdoCbl the Co–C bond is longer ( 1.98 Å and 2.0 Å) Homolytically - Co(II) and an alkyl free radical R Heterolytically – either Co(I) and R+ or Co(III) and R– http://www.neurology.org/content/58/9/1395/F2.expansion.html

Got it on Lock! So where from here?
Questions to Consider Why cobalt? Why DMB? What else could be used as a good R-group for an anti-vitamin B12? (characteristics should it have?) Why is this useful? + CN -
