In a recent work addressing the structural characterization of melanin pigments, we reported the isolation and characterization of trimeric oligomers of 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA), a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of the dark brown eumelanins, by tyrosine catalyzed oxidation
Matrix-assisted laser desorptionhonization mass spectrometry was applied to the structural investigation of synthetic melanins prepared by enzymatic or chemical oxidation of 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA), a major biosynthetic precursor. Following optimization of the experimental cond
Despite extensive efforts over more than half a century, the direct structural investigation of natural melanins has, so far, been largely unsuccessful, because of the adverse physical and chemical properties of these pigments. In the present study, we applied matrix-assisted laser desorption/ioniza
The relative stereochemistry of methyl 6-oxo-5-(5-phenyltetrazol-2-yl)piperidine-2-carboxylate, C 14 H 15 N 5 O 3 , has been determined. It conยฎrms the cis conยฎguration of the piperidine ring as well as the position of the substituent on the tetrazole ring. The packing of the molecules is inยฏuenced
