DescriptionPhenylacetaldehyde, also known as alpha-tolualdehyde or 2-phenylethanal, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylacetaldehydes. Phenylacetaldehydes are compounds containing a phenylacetaldehyde moiety, which consists of a phenyl group substituted at the second position by an acetalydehyde. Phenylacetaldehyde is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Phenylacetaldehyde exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within yeast, phenylacetaldehyde participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, phenylacetaldehyde can be biosynthesized from 2-oxo-3-phenylpropanoic acid (mixture oxo and keto); which is mediated by the enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase. In addition, phenylacetaldehyde can be converted into 2-phenylethanol; which is mediated by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. In yeast, phenylacetaldehyde is involved in the metabolic pathway called the phenylalanine metabolism pathway. Phenylacetaldehyde is a potentially toxic compound.

Specific function:
Second most abundant of three pyruvate decarboxylases (PDC1, PDC5, PDC6) implicated in the nonoxidative conversion of pyruvate to acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide during alcoholic fermentation. Most of the produced acetaldehyde is subsequently reduced to ethanol, but some is required for cytosolic acetyl-CoA production for biosynthetic pathways. The enzyme is also one of five 2-oxo acid decarboxylases (PDC1, PDC5, PDC6, ARO10, and THI3) able to decarboxylate more complex 2-oxo acids (alpha-keto-acids) than pyruvate, which seem mainly involved in amino acid catabolism. Here the enzyme catalyzes the decarboxylation of amino acids, which, in a first step, have been transaminated to the corresponding 2-oxo acids. In a third step, the resulting aldehydes are reduced to alcohols, collectively referred to as fusel oils or alcohols. Its preferred substrates are the transaminated amino acids valine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan, whereas leucine is no substrate. In a side-reaction the carbanionic intermediate (or active aldehyde) generated by decarboxylation or by activation of an aldehyde can react with an aldehyde via condensation (or carboligation) yielding a 2-hydroxy ketone, collectively called acyloins
