Abstract

The stereochemistry of the decarboxylation of 3,4-dimethoxycinnamic acids by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the enzymatic specificity with respect to the substrate structure were studied. This reaction proceeds with retention of configuration at the side-chain double bond as well as enzymatic specificity for the ( E) configuration. The influence of substituents in the α and β positions was also studied. Hypotheses on the reaction mechanism were proposed.
