For example, cyanocobalamin can be converted to its analog cobalamins via reduction to {{chem|B|12s}}, followed by the addition of the corresponding [[alkyl halides]], [[acyl halides]], [[alkene]] or [[alkyne]]. [[Steric hindrance]] is the major limiting factor in the synthesis of the {{chem|B|12}} coenzyme analogs. For example, no reaction occurs between [[neopentyl]] chloride and {{chem|B|12s}}, whereas the secondary alkyl halide analogs are too unstable to be isolated. This effect may be due to the strong coordination between [[benzimidazole]] and the central cobalt atom, pulling it down into the plane of the [[corrin]] ring. The [[trans effect]] determines the polarizability of the Co–C bond so formed. However, once the [[benzimidazole]] is detached from cobalt by quaternization with [[methyl iodide]], it is replaced by {{chem|H|2|O}} or [[hydroxyl]] ions. Various secondary alkyl halides are then readily attacked by the modified {{chem|B|12s}} to give the corresponding stable cobalamin analogs. The products are usually extracted and purified by phenol-methylene chloride extraction or by column chromatography.
