✦ Synopsis

BIOLlEilNlSCENCE of Cypridina hilgendorfii (Japenese name:umi-hotaru) has been studied extensively since 1917, when Harvey (1) observed the luciferin-luciferase reaction with extracts of this animal. The luminescent system of Cypridina is one of the simplest among luminous animals and plantc 60 far investigated; only luciferin, luciferase and oxygen being required for the light production in aqueous solutions. Thss, it h&a been considered to be most suitable for the study of bio-li_:..;nescenoe mechanisms. General structures of the luciferin have been proposed by many workers (2), but since the materials used were impure, the evidence was not substantial. * * A paper under the same title is echeduled for publication in F. H.

A total synthesis of Cypridina luciferin (I), a bioluminescent substance obtained from Cypridina hilgendorfii (l), was achieved in 1966 (2) by reductive condensation of an appropriate 2-aminopyrazine derivative and a-keto acid, but the yield was too low to use th!s route for preparative purposes.
