Here, we report a highly selective, efficient and rapid method for the selective cleavage of primary acetonide using silica supported polyphosphoric acid (PPA-SiO2) for various carbohydrate substrates. Corresponding diols were obtained in good to excellent yields within 30 min using PPA-SiO2. Overall, PPA-SiO2 was found to be a useful catalyst for selective acetonide cleavage in carbohydrate substrates which may expand its utility in organic synthesis.

Comparative genomics of the bacterial thiamin pyrimidine synthase (thiC) revealed a paralogue of thiC (bzaF) clustered with anaerobic vitamin B12 biosynthetic genes. Here we demonstrate that BzaF is a radical S-adenosylmethionine enzyme that catalyzes the remarkable conversion of aminoimidazole ribotide (AIR) to 5-hydroxybenzimidazole (5-HBI). We identify the origin of key product atoms and propose a reaction mechanism. These studies represent the first step in solving a long-standing problem in anaerobic vitamin B12 assembly and reveal an unanticipated intersection of thiamin and vitamin B12 biosynthesis.
