An important product of electrochemical oxidation of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in acid solution is the purple compound tryptamine-4,5-dione (6). However, any attempt to concentrate a solution containing 6 causes it to disappear. The most important reaction of 6 is dimerization to give another purple compound 7,7'-bi-(5-hydroxytryptamine-4-one). Dione 6 can also apparently react with 2,4'-bi-5-hydroxytryptamine
酸性溶液中5-羟基色胺(5-HT)电化学氧化的重要产物是紫色化合物色胺4,5-二酮(6)。但是,任何浓缩包含6的溶液的尝试都会使其消失。6的最重要反应是二聚,得到另一种紫色化合物7,7'-bi-(5-hydroxytryptamine-4-one)。二酮6也显然可以与2,4'-联-5-羟色胺反应,得到三聚体4- [7'-(色胺-4,5-二酮)]-2,4''-联-5-羟色胺。最后,5-HT的6种和其他氧化产物在浓缩步骤中反应,生成的似乎是三聚体或更高的低聚物。该低聚物尚未确定,但已显示其可分解,部分产生神经毒素5-羟基色胺-4,7-二酮。
