Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Stereochemistry of hydrogen removal from the 'unactivated' C-3 position of 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA catalysed by 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydratase

Abstract

(R)- and (S)-γ-[3-2H1]butyrolactones have been synthesised from (R)- and (S)-glycidol, respectively, and used to demonstrate that it is the pro-(S) hydrogen atom that is stereospecifically abstracted from C-3 of 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA by 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydratase, and that this atom is not returned to C-4.
