Conversion of p-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid into homogentisic acid: possible participation of p-quinol intermediates

J Schweizer et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

A proposed intermediate in the metabolic transformation of p-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid into homogentisic acid has been synthetized. In an experiment with radioactive material in pig liver homogenate it could be shown that this compound does not occur as a free intermediate.
