Research Abstract |
Mechanism of biologically important (net) hydride transfer from NADH or NADPH to a substrate has been discussed from the viewpoint of physical organic chemistry. It is emphasized that the (net) hydride transfer involves an electron-transfer complex as an intermediate of the reaction. The intermediate plays a crucial role in determining stereochemistry of the reaction. Orientation of dipolar functional group such as carbonyl or sulfinyl selects molecular face to afford the complexation, then defines the face of reaction. Steric balkiness is of the second importance in defining the face of reaction. The mechanism observed is named as nonsteric stereochemistry. Molecular interactions observed in organic reactions and discussed herein is closely related to those in biological reactions.
