## Abstract The neurotransmitter dopamine is oxidized to its quinone (DAβQ), which at neutral pH undergoes intramolecular cyclization by 1,4βMichael addition, followed by oxidation to form leukochrome, then aminochrome, and finally neuromelanin. At lower pH, the amino group of DA is partially proto
