Total synthesis of AsLn2-a luciferin analogue from the Siberian bioluminescent earthworm Fridericia heliota

摘要

Total synthesis of AsLn2, a luciferin analogue isolated from the Siberian bioluminescent earthworm F. heliota, was performed from (Z)-5-(2,3-dimethoxy-3-oxoprop-1-en-1-yl)-2-hydroxybenzoic acid in six steps.
