描述
O-succinylbenzoate, also known as 4-(2'-carboxyphenyl)-4-oxobutyric acid or 2-(3-carboxypropionyl)benzoic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as alkyl-phenylketones. Alkyl-phenylketones are aromatic compounds containing a ketone substituted by one alkyl group, and a phenyl group. O-succinylbenzoate is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). O-succinylbenzoate can be synthesized from benzoic acid. O-succinylbenzoate can also be synthesized into 4-(2-carboxyphenyl)-4-oxobutanoyl-CoA. O-succinylbenzoate can be found in a number of food items such as nectarine, green bean, japanese persimmon, and rye, which makes O-succinylbenzoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. O-succinylbenzoate may be a unique E.coli metabolite.
