Abstract

Abstract 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.
