The addition reaction of phycocyanobilin dimethyl ester with 2- mercaptoethanol could occur in ammoniacal methanolic solution and gave 80% yield of 3-hydro-3'-[β -hydroxy-ethylthio)-phycocyanobilin dimethyl ester which was identified by UV-Vis, MS and ^1H NMR spectra. The reaction was considered to be a model reaction for biosynthesis of phycocyanin. The configuration of the adduct was studied.

Key words: PHYCOCYANOBILIN, BIOSYNTHESIS, MERCAPTOETHANOL, AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE
