2-Cyano-6-hydroxybenzothiazole Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Description
2-Cyano-6-hydroxybenzothiazole (CBTOH) is a critical intermediate in D-luciferin biosynthesis, also used for its chemical synthesis and as luciferin bioluminescence precursor for chemical analysis. Firefly light emission involves the enzymatic oxidation of D-luciferin to yield electronically excited oxyluciferin, which is the bioluminescent molecule. Oxyluciferin is afterwards enzymatically oxidized to thioglycolic acid and CBTOH, which regenerates luciferin by condensation with cysteine[1].
Synthesis
A new synthesis of 2-cyano-6-hydroxybenzothiazole has been realized starting from the reaction of 1,4-benzoquinone with l-cysteine ethyl ester, followed by oxidation-cyclization of the intermediate ethyl (R)-2-amino-3-(2,5-dihydroxyphenylsulfanyl)propan-oate hydrochloride to 2-carbethoxy-6-hydroxybenzothiazole. A suitable protection of this intermediate and conversion to the corresponding nitrile gave, after deprotection, 2-cyano-6-hydroxybenzothiazole (32% yield from 1,4-benzoquinone)[2].
