摘要
Phenoloxidases from insect cuticle as well as from other sources oxidize catechols resulting in the formation of various coupling products. The two dominating products from 4-methylcatechol and the main product from N-acetyldopamine were purified and identified by means of plasma desorption and electron impact mass spectrometry and by H-1- and C-13-NMR spectroscopy. The main product from both catechols has a quinoid trihydroxybiphenyl structure, indicating oxidative coupling between a catechol and the corresponding trihydroxy derivative. The second product from 4-methylcatechol is a biphenyltetrol derivative, indicating oxidative coupling between two catechols.
