Exceptional Photochemical Stability of the Co-C Bond of Alkynyl Cobalamins, Potential Antivitamins B12 and Core Elements of B12-Based Biological Vectors

Alkynylcorrinoids are a class of organometallic B12 derivatives, recently rediscovered for use as antivitamins B12 and as core components of B12-based biological vectors. They feature exceptional photochemical and thermal stability of their characteristic extra-short Co-C bond. We describe here the synthesis and structure of 3-hydroxypropynylcobalamin (HOPryCbl) and photochemical experiments with HOPryCbl, as well as of the related alkynylcobalamins: phenylethynylcobalamin and difluoro-phenylethynylcobalamin. Ultrafast spectroscopic studies of the excited state dynamics and mechanism for ground state recovery demonstrate that the Co-C bond of alkynylcobalamins is stable, with the Co-N bond and ring deformations mediating internal conversion and ground state recovery within 100 ps. These studies provide insights required for the rational design of photostable or photolabile B12-based cellular vectors.
