Abstract
The reactivity of esters of thiolcarboxylic acids with amino compounds is strongly and specifically enhanced by metal ions possessing affinity for the sulfur atom. Model reactions of the enzymatic acylation of aromatic amines and of the biological synthesis of hippuric acid are described, using benzoyl pantetheine as a model compound for acyl derivatives of coenzyme A, and metal ions as models for the corresponding acetylases.
