E-3-Methyl-3-pentenyl diphosphate acted as an artificial substrate in the reaction with E,E-farnesyl diphosphate catalyzed by undecaprenyl diphosphate synthase of . The synthase reaction with this substrate proceeded in the same stereochemical manner as that with the natural substrate, 3-methyl-3-butenyl diphosphate, but it had a full stop at the stage of one step condensation, thereby forming a chiral
