SQUID BIOLUMINESCENCE II. ISOLATION FROM WATASENIA SCINTILLANS AND SYNTHESIS OF 2-(p-HYDROXYBENZYL)-6-(p-HYDROXYPHENYL)-3,7-DIHYDROIMIDAZO[1,2-a]PYRAZIN-3-ONE

Abstract
2-(p-Hydroxybenzyl)-6-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-3,7-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3-one was isolated from the squid, Watasenia scintillans. Its structure was determined by synthesis. It is considered to be a precursor of hitherto unknown Watasenia luciferin or photoprotein.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
