Abstract

Alcohol-selective oxidation of 6-1’-hydroxyalkylpteridines catalyzed by ruthenium (IV), RuO4-, gives 6-acylpteridines in high yields. Partial reduction of the products affords 6-acyl-7,8-dihydropteridine derivatives, such as a lipophilic derivative of sepiapterin, deoxysepiapterin, and sepiapterin-C.
