Abstract

Syntheses of 5-deoxydehydroquinic acid and 4,5-dideoxydehydroquinic acid from quinic acid are described. These substrate analogues were tested against the mechanistically-distinct type I and type II dehydroquinases. The C-4 hydroxy group of the substrate is shown to be important for imine formation on the type I enzyme but appears not to contribute significantly to specificity on the type II dehydroquinase.
