Kirk, T. Kent published the artcileOxygenation of 4-alkoxyl groups in alkoxybenzoic acids by Polyporus dichrous, Application of 3-Chloro-4-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzoic acid, the main research area is alkoxybenzoate oxidation Polyporus; lignin degradation Polyporus.
The degradation of several alkyl ethers of vanillic acid, 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzoic acid, and of syringic acid by the lignin-decomposing fungus P. dichrous included 4-dealkylation, hydroxylation of the 4-alkoxyl groups, and reduction of carboxyl groups. The dealkylations and hydroxylations indicate that the fungus has a relatively nonspecific mechanism for oxygenating various 4-alkoxyl groups of alkoxybenzoic acids; no evidence for oxygenation of 3-alkoxyl groups was obtained. Hydroxylation products were generally degraded further, probably via dealkylation. The vanillic acid and 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzoic acid formed by dealkylations were readily metabolized. Although the isopropyl ether of syringic acid was hydroxylated to 2-(4-carboxyl-2,6-dimethoxyphenoxy)propan-1-ol, neither this compound nor the parent isopropyl ether was dealkylated; syringic acid itself was only slowly and incompletely metabolized. The relation of these results to lignin degradation is discussed.
