The reactions of 10a-peroxyflavins have been examined to increase understanding of the oxidative and chemiluminescent reactions catalysed by the flavin co-enzymes. A remarkable series of structural requirements in the peroxides used has been uncovered, and in addition to serving as models for the mechanism of bacterial luciferase, they constitute a set of new chemiluminescent reactions.
Acid-catalysed addition of hydrogen peroxide to n-butyl vinyl ether gave a separable mixture of the hydroperoxides (1)–(4); peroxides (1)–(3) undergo chemiluminescent reactions in acetonitrile with 1,3,10-trimethylisoalloxazinium perchlorate in the presence of triethylamine, and the flavin analogue catalyses the decomposition of the peroxides.
