Abstract
We report an efficient synthetic route to obtaining a stable analogue of 5,6-dihydroxyindole. These analogues can be used to build controlled composition model melanin biopolymers for solid state and spectroscopic studies of this important biomolecule.
Key words
5,6-dihydroxyindole - 5,6-diacetoxyindole - melanin biopolymers - melanin precursors - nitration of activated aromatic compound
