Stereochemistry of hydrogen elimination from C-6 of shikimate in naphthoquinone biosynthesis

Abstract

Feeding experiments with specifically and stereospecifically 14C- and 3H-labelled shikimic acids confirm earlier results in vitamin K and juglone formation and show that the biosynthesis involves loss of the pro-6R and retention of the pro-6S hydrogen of shikimate.
