Synthesis relevant to vitamin B12 biosynthesis: synthesis of (±)Faktor-I octamethyl ester

Abstract

Faktor-I, the chlorin which arises by aromatisation of the mono-C-methylated intermediate on the biosynthetic pathway to vitamin B12, has been synthesized in racemic form as its octamethyl ester by ring-closing the macrocycle photochemically.
