摘要
A new intermediate in the biosynthesis of 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid in Aerobacter aerogenes has been isolated and identified as 2-hydroxy-3-(1′-carboxyvinyloxy)-2,3-dihydrobenzoic acid for which the trivial name isochorismic acid is suggested. Methods for the assay of isochorismic acid are described. Salicylic acid and 3-carboxyphenylpyruvic acid are readily produced chemically from isochorismic acid under mild conditions. It is suggested that isochorismic acid may be the metabolic precursor of these compounds in other organisms. © 1969.
