摘要
Photooxygenation of (pyropheophorbidato a methyl ester)cadmium (II) was studied using O-18,18(2) labeling of the molecular oxygen required for cleavage of the macrocycle. After reductive demetallation of the primary oxidation product (4,5-dioxo-4,5-secopyrspheophorbidato a methyl ester)cadmium (II), the isotope content of formylbilinone 4a was analyzed by repeated-scan fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry. Comparison of the spectroscopic data of the labeled pigment 4a with the statistical probabilities of O-18 isotope incorporation calculated for four possible reaction mechanisms clearly proves that photooxidative ring cleavage occurred by the one-molecule mechanism, i.e, the terminal oxygen atoms of 4a were derived from one oxygen molecule. Furthermore, a study of the exchange of the O-18-labeled atoms revealed that no exchange occurs within the pH 4.5-9.5 range. In stronger alkaline or acidic solutions, only the oxygen atom of the formyl group is exchanged, Hydrolysis of the methyl ester group of 4a was achieved, without loss of the O-18 label on the formyl group, at pH 7.2 in the presence of pig liver esterase.
