A Novel Synthesis of Pyridoxal-5'-phosphate

Abstract

Pyridoxal-5'-phosphate was synthesized in excellent yield by phosphorylation of 1-secondaryamino-1, 3-dihydro-7-hydroxy-6-methyl-furo (3, 4-c) pyridine which was readily obtained by a condensation reaction between pyridoxal and a secondary amine.
