General description
D-(-)-Quinic acid, a plant metabolite, is chiral building block used in multistep chemical synthesis of natural compounds.
Application
D-(−)-Quinic acid can be used as:
- A chiral selector electrolyte along with copper(II) sulfate. This electrolyte is utilized in chiral resolution DL-tartaric acid by ligand-exchange capillary electrophoresis method.
- A starting material in the synthesis of stereoisomers of 3,4,6-trihydroxyazepanes, 7-hydroxymethyl-3,4,5-trihydroxyazepanes, and 3,4,5-trihydroxyazepanes, as potential inhibitors of glycosidase.
- A precursor for the preparation of trihydroxy piperidine derivatives and (+)-proto-quercitol glycosidase inhibitors.
D-(-)-Quinic acid has been used as a standard to determine the composition of organic acids in bitter gentian teas and in developing cranberry fruit by HPLC. It may be used in the preparation of 3,4-O-isopropylidene-3(R),4(S)-dihydroxycyclohexanone.
