Synthesis of silyl peroxide of coelenterazine (oplophorus luciferin) analogue for precursor of luminescence
摘要:
Unstable tert-butyldimethylsilyl peroxide of coelenterazine (Oplophorus luciferin) analogue has been synthesized by radical reaction of tert-butyldimethylsilyl hydroperoxide. This compound may be a key intermediate model in the bioluminescence and chemiluminescence of coelenterazine.
The labile peroxy acid compound has been synthesized and is one of the postulated intermediates in chemiluminescent reactions of coelenterate luciferin, Cypridina luciferin, and their analogues. The peroxy acid generated amide was accompanied by light in several solvent systems. In the non-polar solvent, the peroxy acid showed luminescence with one peak at 395 nm emitted from a neutral amide, whereas
