The chemistry of firefly bioluminescence is important for numerous applications in biochemistry and analytical chemistry. The emitter of this bioluminescent system, firefly oxyluciferin, is difficult to handle. The cause of its lability was clarified while its synthesis was reinvestigated. A side product was identified and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray crystallography. The reason for
萤火虫生物发光化学对于生物化学和分析化学中的众多应用非常重要。这种生物发光系统的发射物萤火虫氧化荧光素很难处理。在重新研究其合成时,澄清了其不稳定性的原因。通过NMR光谱和X射线晶体学鉴定并鉴定了副产物。氧化荧光素不稳定的原因现在归因于曼尼希型反应中同时存在的烯醇和酮形式的自二聚化。
