title: Synthesis of the pyoverdin chromophore by a biomimetic oxidative cyclization.
abstract: The fluorescent dihydropyrimido[1,2-a]quinoline chromophore of the pyoverdin siderophores has been synthesized by a biomimetic oxidative cyclization using an iodine(III) reagent, followed by elimination and dehydrogenation.
