“…The natural flavin (I) side chain (Rl0 = ribityl) has been changed into CH, in order to avoid photolytic side reactions [4]. The cyclic imide group in position 3 is alkylated throughout, which affords the desired high solubility in unpolar (R, = benzyl) and polar (R, = CH,COO-) environments or a t least sufficient solubility stretching out over a wide polarity range from water to toluene (R, = CH,).…”

“…The photo-reduction of de-aerated riboflavin was studied in [21,22,25,28,[42][43][44]. It was proposed that water is the donor of hydrogen and that H 2 O 2 is generated by photo-excitation [42].…”

“…Photo-activation of flavins in air-saturated solutions with reducing agents converts them during light exposure to the semi and fully reduced form, but then they get re-oxidized in the dark. Under anaerobic conditions stable photo-reduction to the fully reduced form is achieved [14,16,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] even in the absence of exogenous reducing agents [22,24,29]. The involved mechanisms in the photo-reduction of flavins are discussed in [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32].…”
