Product Information
4-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-1-butene is an organic compound with a chemical formula CH3C6H4OCH2CH=CH(CH2)2. It is a white solid that is soluble in ether and hexane. 4-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-1-butene is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of two molecules of isopentenyl pyrophosphate to one molecule of dimethylallyl pyrophosphate, which is an essential intermediate in the biosynthesis of diterpenes. This enzyme has been shown to play a role in stabilizing carbocations and transition states, as well as protonating enolates. The mechanism of this enzyme has been studied extensively, with mechanistic studies showing it acts by deprotonating pyrophosphate to form a carbocation, followed by stepwise addition of another molecule from the substrate.
