(R)-2-Benzylsuccinate
(R)-2-Benzylsuccinate is an aromatic compounds that is an intermediate in Benzoate degradation via CoA ligation. Biodegradation of aromatic compounds is a common process in anoxic environments. The many natural and synthetic aromatic compounds found in the environment are usually degraded by anaerobic microorganisms into only few central intermediates, prior to ring cleavage. Benzoyl-CoA is the most important of these intermediates since a large number of compounds, including chloro-, nitro-, and aminobenzoates, aromatic hydrocarbons, and phenolic compounds, are initially converted to benzoyl-CoA prior to ring reduction and cleavage. (R)-2-Benzylsuccinate can be generated from toluene via the enzyme benzylsuccinate synthase (EC 4.1.99.11). It is then converted to Benzylsuccinyl-CoA via the enzyme benzylsuccinate CoA-transferase BbsE subunit (EC 2.8.3.15).
