Chemical and biochemical properties of 2-hydroxypentadienoic acid, a homologue of enolpyruvic acid

Chemical Communications Pub Date: 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.1039/A704635I

Abstract

2-Hydroxypentadienoic acid is shown to be a biochemical intermediate on the phenylpropionate catabolic pathway of Escherichia coli; its stability and ketonisation behaviour are compared with those of its homologue, enolpyruvate.
