摘要

A new synthesis of dehydroluciferin [2-(6′-hydroxy-2′-benzothiazolyl)-thiazole-4- carboxylic acid], the oxidative product of luciferin, has been realized starting from 1, 4- benzoquinone. Reaction of this compound with l-cysteine ethyl ester, followed by an oxidation–cyclization step afforded 2-carbethoxy-6-hydroxybenzothiazole that was in situ hydrolyzed and decarboxylated to 6-hydroxybenzothiazole. The tert-butyl (dimethyl) silyl ...
