Thermal Decomposition and Cobalt-Carbon Bond Dissociation Energies of Organocobalamins: Neopentyl-, (Cyclopentylmethyl)-, (Cyclohexylmethyl)-, (Tetrahydrofurfuryl)- and ((Tetrahydro-2H-pyryl)methyl)cobalamin

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja00218a021

The title compounds were prepared and characterized and their thermal decomposition reactions were studied in aqueous solutions of varying pH and containing varying concentrations of cob(II)alamin (B12) and of bis(dimethylglyoximato)cobalt(II), .
