New stereoselective reaction of methylglyoxal with 2-aminopyridine and adenine derivatives: formation of imino acid-nucleic base derivatives in water under mild conditions.
A remarkable stereoselective reaction of methylglyoxal with 2-aminopyridine, the nucleic base adenine and adenine nucleosides leads in good yield to heterocycles of a new family in water under mild conditions and should be of interest in the understanding of the biological effects of methylglyoxal which is toxic, mutagenic and involved in diabetic complications.
