Cover Story: Pterins consist of fused pyrazine and pyrimidine rings with –NH2 and =O functions on the latter. Their name comes from the Greek word pteron, meaning “wing”. They were first isolated as pierid butterflies’ wing pigments. Derivatives have also been found in the active sites of enzymes, further emphasizing their biological importance. In the course of bioinspired studies, a new alkyne-functionalized artificial pterin was synthesized by reacting 7-chloropterin with propargyl. The chemical structure of the compound was validated via NMR spectroscopy, Mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and X-ray crystallography. The novel pterin derivative, in contrast to typical pterin behavior, was shown to be soluble or even well soluble in almost any solvent except water. This feature facilitates derivatization, as shown via the introduction of terminal chlorine. View this paper
