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