In the synthesis of cobyric acid following an arduous 60-step synthesis of the tetrapyrrole corrigenolide, Woodward demonstrated that ring cyclization yielded unexpectedly the corrin cyclic ether (Fig. 2). Its structure was chosen as the chemistry logo for the 1970 IUPAC meeting. It was a reminder that chemistry can be capricious and beautiful. This article is a tribute to the 50-year career in porphyrins of Professor Kevin M. Smith and describes his early contributions with colleagues in the synthetic quest of a related porphyrin molecule, vitamin B12 (Fig. 1a).

The Escherichia coli CysG protein (sirohaem synthase) catalyses four separate reactions that are required for the transformation of uroporphyrinogen III into sirohaem, initially two S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent transmethylations at positions 2 and 7, mediated through the C-terminal, or CysGA, catalytic domain of the protein, and subsequently a ferrochelation and dehydrogenation, mediated through the N-terminal, or CysGB, catalytic domain of the enzyme. This report describes how the deletion of the NAD+-binding site of CysG, located within the first 35 residues of the N-terminus, is detrimental to the activity of CysGB but does not affect the catalytic activity of CysGA, whereas the mutation of a number of phylogenetically conserved residues within CysGA is detrimental to the transmethylation reaction but does not affect the activity of CysGB. Further studies have shown that CysGB is not essential for cobalamin biosynthesis because the presence of the Salmonella typhimurium CobI operon with either cysGA or the Pseudomonas denitrificans cobA are sufficient for the synthesis of cobyric acid in an E. coli cysG deletion strain. Evidence is also presented to suggest that a gene within the S. typhimurium CobI operon might act as a chelatase that, at low levels of cobalt, is able to aid in the synthesis of sirohaem.

Abstract Several natural corrinoids, cobalamin, 5-hydroxybenzimidazolyl cobamide (factor III), adenyl cobam ide (pseudovitam in B12), 2-methyladenyl cobamide (factor A) and cobyric acid, were reduc­ed with sodium borohydride. The reduction of cyanocobalam in is slow as compared with that of factor III and especially of the other corrinoids under study. At longer wavelengths (λ > 300 nm) the electronic spectra of the Co(I)-corrinoids are nearly identical. The same is to say about the CD-spectra of the Co(I)-corrinoids examined.
