Incorporation of 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol, a putative isoprenoid precursor in the mevalonate-independent pathway, into ubiquinone and menaquinone of Escherichia coli
Incorporation of deuterium labelled 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol into isoprenoid side-chains of ubiquinone and menaquinone from Escherichia coli strongly supports the proposed intermediate role of this branched sugar derivative in the mevalonate independent pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis via glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and pyruvate.

Studies on the enantioselectivity of the transesterification of 2-methyl-1,4-butanediol and its derivatives catalyzed by Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase in organic solvents
The irreversible transesterification of 2-methy-1,4-butanediol 1a and its benzyl ethers 2a and 3a catalyzed by Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase in chloroform was studied, the highest ee (> 98%) having been obtained for the 4-benzyl ether 2a.
