1,3β,4α-Trihydroxy-5-oxocyclohexane-1β-carboxylic acid

Uses

3-Dehydroquinic Acid is applied in development of a synthetic 3-dehydroshikimate biosensor in E.coli for metabolite monitoring and genetic screening.

Definition

ChEBI: 3-dehydroquinic acid is a 4-oxo monocarboxylic acid derived from quinic acid by oxidation of the hydroxy group at position 3 to the corresponding keto group. It has a role as an Escherichia coli metabolite. It is a 4-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid, a 2-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid, a 4-oxo monocarboxylic acid, a 5-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid and a secondary alpha-hydroxy ketone. It is functionally related to a (-)-quinic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 3-dehydroquinate.
