Common Name3-hydroxy-cis,cis-muconic acid
Description3-hydroxy-cis,cis-muconic acid is a dicarboxylic acid and a member of the class of organic compounds known as muconic acids. Its chemical structure features a hydroxyl group and two carboxylic acid groups, contributing to its reactivity and participation in various biochemical pathways. This compound is generated through the ozonolysis of specific hydroxybenzenes, such as 1,2,3- and 1,2,4-trihydroxybenezene, leading to the formation of 2- and 3-hydroxy-cis,cis-muconic acid, respectively (PMID:26403273 ). Furthermore, 3-hydroxy-cis,cis-muconic acid is involved in metabolic pathways where it can be further processed into other dicarboxylic acids, such as 2,4- or 3,4-dihydroxyhex-2-enedioic acid, indicating its role in the degradation and transformation of aromatic compounds (PMID:26403273 ). This underscores its importance in the context of microbial metabolism and environmental biochemistry, where it may serve as an intermediate in the catabolism of aromatic pollutants.
