Popis: 6-(Trifluoromethyl)-8-(D-ribityl)lumazine (17) was synthesized in order to study its reactivity at C-7 and its binding to riboflavin synthase of Bacillus subtilis. Compound 17 was prepared by reaction of 5-amino-4-[(D-ribityl)amino]-2,4-(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione hydrochloride (3-HCl) with trifluoropyruvaldehyde hydrate (18). NMR studies revealed that under basic conditions, 17 forms only one major anionic species in which the oxygen of the 3'-hydroxyl group on the ribityl side chain binds covalently to C-7 of the lumazine, resulting in the formation of a pyran ring
