Abstract
Multifunctional ortho-quinones are required for the formation of thiol-catechol-connectivities (TCC) but can be delicate to handle. We present the electrochemical oxidation of the dipeptide DiDOPA, achieving up to 92 % conversion efficiency of the catechols to ortho-quinones. Graphite and stainless steel could be employed as cost-efficient electrodes. The electrochemical activation yields quinone-solutions, which are free of undesired reactive compounds and eliminates the challenging step of isolating the reactive quinones. The DiDOPA quinones were employed in polyaddition reactions with multi-thiols, forming oligomers that functioned as transient enzyme stabilizers (TES). These TCC-TES-additives improved the thermal stability and the activity of tyrosinase in heat stress assays.
