(Chemical Equation Presented) A new fluorogenic transformation based on a quinone reduction/lactonization sequence has been developed and evaluated as a tool for probing redox phenomena in a biochemical context. The probe presented herein is an irreversible redox probe and is reduced selectively by biologically relevant quinols such as ubiquinol but is inert to reduced nicotinamides (e.g., NADH). The ensuing cyclization is fast and quantitative and provides a measurable optical response.
SYNTHESIS OF UBIQUINONE AND MENAQUINONE ANALOGUES BY OXIDATIVE DEMETHYLATION OF ALKENYLHYDROQUINONE ETHERS WITH ARGENTIC OXIDE OR CERIC AMMONIUM NITRATE IN THE PRESENCE OF 2,4,6-PYRIDINE-TRICARBOXYLIC ACID

It was found that alkenylhydroquinone ethers demethylated with argentic oxide or ceric ammonium nitrate in the presence of 2,4,6-pyridinetricarboxylic acid as a catalyst and afforded ubiquinone-2, menaquinone-2 and their analogs in yields of 53 to 89 percent.The new approach to the synthesis of starting alkenylhydroquinone ethers as well as 2,4,6-pyridinetricarboxylic acid and its derivatives has been reported.
