摘要: Publisher Summary Fat-soluble riboflavin derivatives are synthesized by esterifying alcoholic hydroxyl groups in the ribitol moiety of with some carboxylic acid. This chapter discusses fat-soluable riboflavin. The synthesis modifies properties without losing intactness structure isoalloxazine nucleus solubility is markedly changed esterification; esters obtained soluble organic solvents. A noticeable solvent effect found absorption and fluorescence emission spectra these derivatives. observed results useful interpreting environmental change surrounding flavin coenzyme upon complex formation apoprotcin further substrate or substitute. For synthesizing acyl riboflavin, reagents such as an acid chloride anhydride effectively used. Three examples synthetic procedures fat-soluble described tetrapalmitate, tetrabutyrate, tetranicotinate. physicochemical also discussed.
