General description

N-Methylsuccinimide is a metabolite of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and its presence in in plasma and urine can be used as a biomarker of exposure to NMP. Hydrogen bonded complexes between N-methylsuccinimide and phenols (pKa = 10.2 → 6) are investigated by infrared spectrometry.

Application

N-Methylsuccinimide was employed as model compound to investigate the mechanism of enolization step by density-functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Racemization of aspartic acid residues in peptides and proteins is assumed to proceed via succinimide intermediates. An enolization of the succinimide intermediate is required for the racemization to occur. In this study, we modeled the enolization step by density-functional theory
