A route is devised for synthesis of both enantiomers of the spiro lactam 4. The enzyme uroporphyrinogen III synthase (cosynthetase), which converts hydroxymethylbilane 1 into uroporphyrinogen III 3, is competitively inhibited more than twenty times more s

A novel approach, involving X-ray analysis of a specifically designed racemate, in combination with correlations by circular dichroism, allows the absolute configuration of the spiro lactam 4 to be determined. The outcome is that the enantiomer of this lactam which strongly inhibits uroporphyrinogen III synthase (cosynthetase) has the R-configuration and the implications of this finding are briefly discussed.
Stereochemical Studies on the Proposed Spiro Intermediate for the Biosynthesis of the Natural Porphyrins: Determination by a Novel X-Ray Method of the Absolute Configuration of the Spirolactam which Inhibits Cosynthetase

A novel X-ray analysis, combined with correlations by circular dichroism, has been used to establish the (R)-configuration at the stereocentre in that enantiomer of the spirolactam 4 which strongly inhibits uroporphyrinogen III synthase.
