Description

Application

3-Dehydroshikimic acid is a biochemical intermediate from D-glucose in the synthesis of pro-catechuic acid. 3-Dehydroshikimic acid has been used in a study to describe the synthesis of catechuic acid (1) and ethyl 2,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate (2) from D-glucose-derived β-ketoester. 3-Dehydroshikimic acid has also been used in studies to evaluate the shikimate biosynthetic pathway, in order to develop nontoxic antimicrobial agents, herbicides, and antiparasite drugs.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Metabolite of the shikimate pathway with a chromophore suitable for continuous spectrophotometric assay. Precursor of aromatic metabolites in microorganisms.
