Quinic acid Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white to light yellow crystal powde

Uses

D(-)-Quinic Acid is used in the synthesis of anti-influenza/anti-swine flu medication.

Uses

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.

Uses

These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements.

Definition

ChEBI: (-)-quinic acid is the (-)-enantiomer of quinic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a (-)-quinate. It is an enantiomer of a (+)-quinic acid.

General Description

D-(-)-Quinic acid, a plant metabolite, is chiral building block used in multistep chemical synthesis of natural compounds.

target

Beta Amyloid | alpha-mannosidase | alpha-fucosidase

Purification Methods

Quinic acid crystallises from H2O with m 174o, and from EtOH with m 168-169o. [McComsey & Maryanoff J Am Chem Soc 59 2652 1994, pK: Timberlake J Chem Soc 2795 1959, Anet & Reynolds Aust J Chem 8 282 1955, Beilstein 10 III 2407, 10 IV 2257.]
