Reaction Steps

Homogentisic acid in 0.1% H3PO4 (specific radioactivity 40 Ci/mmol). Phytyl pyrophosphate was synthesized as described by Joo, et al. (1973) Can J. Biochem. 51:1527. 2-methyl-6-phytylquinol and 2,3-dimethyl-5-phytylquinol were synthesized as described by Soll, et al. (1980) Phytochemistry 19:215. Homogentisic acid, α, β, δ, and γ-tocopherol, and tocol, were purchased commercially.
