Isochorismate is converted to salicylate and pyruvate through abstraction of the C2 hydrogen followed by protonation of C9 atom and the breakage of the C3-O7 bond. Histidine residue (His334) was proposed to act as a base, abstracting the C2 proton of isochorismate through a second order elimination mechanism. However, recent studies have shown that this residue lies more than 13 A away from C2 atom and no other water molecules appear close enough to the C2 atom to act as a base. IPL reaction has been proposed to proceed through an intramolecular pericyclic mechanisms, involving a concerted hydrogen transfer from C2 to C9 and breakage of the C3-O7 bond.
