AbstractThe title compound, N-[(lS,4R)-2-oxo-pinanyl]-β-alanine methylester, is an important starting material for the electrochemical preparation of chiral amidoalkylation reagents in the synthesis of chiral β-substituted β-amino acid derivatives. The investigation of its crystal structure reveals an arrangement of the carbonyl group and the amine function, which is influenced by a hydrogen bonding interaction. This conformation makes the molecule especially appropriate for further synthetical modification

Here, we report an exquisite strategy that the B12 enzymes exploit to manipulate the reactivity of their radical intermediate (Adenosyl radical). Based on the quantum-mechanic calculations, these enzymes utilize a little known long-ranged through space quantum Coulombic effect (QCE). The QCE causes the radical to acquire an electronic structure that contradicts the Aufbau Principle: The singly-occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) is no longer the highest-occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the radical is unable to react with neighbouring substrates. The dynamic nature of the enzyme and its structure is expected to be such that the reactivity of the radical is not restored until it is moved into close proximity of the target substrate. We found that the hydrogen bonding interaction between the nearby conserved glutamate residue and the ribose ring of Adenosyl radical plays a crucial role in manipulating the orbital ordering
