Colorless nonfluorescent chlorophyll catabolites (NCCs), the final products of endogenous chlorophyll breakdown in higher plants, were prepared by biomimetic partial synthesis from chlorophyll a. A nonstereoselective variant of the synthesis also provided an entry to the enantiomers of natural NCCs.
