A selective synthesis of new hydrophobic cobalamin derivatives bearing two different spacers has been accomplished via ring-opening reaction of c-lactone. The reaction of c-lactone with various amines afforded three types of amides (a, b, and c) depending on the reaction conditions. The structure of lactone b was determined by the X-ray analysis confirming the position of ring closure. It also reveals the presence of a hydrogen bond between the terminal hydroxy group and one of the axial cyanide ligands.

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a strong oxidant produced by myeloperoxidase. Previous work suggested that HOCl modifies the corrin ring of cobalamins to yield chlorinated species via mechanisms that are incompletely understood. Herein, we report a mechanistic study on the reaction between cyanocobalamin (CNCbl, vitamin B) and HOCl.
