RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Our results are summarized in Scheme 0[
We have found that readily accessible 3!ami!
nophthalimidato complex 0 ð00Ł readily reacts with
iodoacetic acid and N\N?!dicyclohexylcarbodiimide
"DCC# in dichloromethane at room temperature to
give the 3!iodoacetamido derivative 1 in high yield[
Its structure was con_rmed by spectroscopic as well
as elemental analyses data[ The amino group in 0 can
be therefore acylated under mild conditions and 0 is a
potential labeling reagent for biomolecules containing
carboxylic functions[ This possibility\ however\ will
be a subject of further studies[
The iodoacetamido complex 1 readily reacts with
sodium salts of phenytoin and ethosuximide "pre!
pared by dissolving of the corresponding NH acids in
methanol containing the equimolar amount of sodium
methoxide# to a}ord conjugates 2 and 3\ respectively[
The structures of these complexes were con_rmed by
