摘要

Abstract: Methylcobalamin (MeCbl, MeB12) thermolyzed in ethylene glycol from 120 to 141 OC with 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxy (TEMPO) as a Me'trap gives the homolysis products Co1IBIzr and TEMPO-Me quantitatively. The 5, 6-dimethylbenzimidazole axial- base-off-base-on equilibrium in ethylene glycol has an enthalpy change of-5.1 (f 2) kcal mol- 'and an entropy change of-10.5 (f 4) cal mol-'K-', equilibrating between the 5, 6- ...
