Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Treatment of glutathione (GSH) with formic acid and acetic anhydride leads to preparation of crystalline N-formyl GSH. This is the first characterized preparation of N-formyl GSH; this product was previously erroneously thought to be N-acetyl GSH. Authentic N-acetyl GSH (crystalline) was prepared by treating GSH with acetic acid and acetic anhydride. The N-acylated derivatives were characterized by 1H NMR and mass spectroscopy.
