4-Hydroxy-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexan-1-one

CAS: 20548-02-1

4-Hydroxy-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexan-1-one is a subunit of the nonproteinogenic amino acid, selenocysteine. It is an intermediate in the synthesis of selenocysteine and has been shown to be stereoselective and homologous to other amino acids. 4-Hydroxy-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexan-1-one is found in corynebacterium and thermophilic species. The enzyme dehydrogenase catalyses the conversion of this compound to 3-(3′hydroxyphenyl)-4-(4′hydroxyphenyl)butanoic acid (4HPPBA). This reaction also produces hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct. 4HPPBA can be converted back into 4-hydroxy-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone by the enzyme reductase. There
