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.
SPECIFITY OF E. COLI SHIKIMATE DEHYDROGENASE TOWARDS ANALOGUES OF 3-DEHYDROSHIKIMIC ACID

Analogues of 3-dehydroshikimic acid which lack the C-4 and C-5 hydroxyl groups have been synthesised and assayed as substrates for shikimate dehydrogenase.The presence of the C-4 hydroxyl group is found to be very important for specificity, whereas the C-5 hydroxyl group is not.The enzyme exhibits enantioselectivity at C-1 and C-4 of the racemic substrate analogues.
