Abstract
A benzo-dipteridine (BDP) having a bipyridin-6-ylmethyl moiety oxidize s alpha-hydroxy acids to give alpha-keto acids in the presence of Zn2 and Et3N in Bu(t)OH, whereas a BDP bearing a bipyridin-5-ylmethyl moi ety is unable to oxidize them under the same conditions; this is the f irst example of a D-lactate dehydrogenase model.
