Pyridine → S-Methylglutathione

Participants

Reaction Steps

When glutathione was complexed with Cr(II), no measurable oxidation of the Cr(II) was observed until the appropriate pyridine derivative was added to the complex mixture. At this time, the 280 nm-340 nm charge transfer peak also appeared. At no time were the 450 nm and 585 nm peaks attributable to Cr--S observed. Replacing glutathione with S-methylglutathione gave identical results.
