Definition
3-dehydro-shikimate is a member of the class of compounds known as cyclohexenones. Cyclohexenones are compounds containing a cylohexenone moiety, which is a six-membered aliphatic ring that carries a ketone and has one endocyclic double bond. 3-dehydro-shikimate is soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 3-dehydro-shikimate can be found in a number of food items such as pot marjoram, salmonberry, purple laver, and lichee, which makes 3-dehydro-shikimate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 3-dehydro-shikimate may be a unique E.coli metabolite.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cyclohexenones. Cyclohexenones are compounds containing a cylohexenone moiety, which is a six-membered aliphatic ring that carries a ketone and has one endocyclic double bond.
