Overview | quinic acid, also known as 6-methoxyquinolinecarboxylic acid, is a yellow columnar crystal. Melting point 280 °c (decomposition). Soluble in ethanol and alkali, difficult to dissolve in cold ethanol, ether. From the oxidation of quinine by chromic acid. For organic synthesis. Quinic acid is a unique alicyclic organic acid in higher plants, which is a precursor of aromatic amino acid biosynthesis. It is commonly found in vascular plants and often coexists with shikimic acid in plants. Quinic acid has a special structure and has many chiral centers. It is an important material in stereo organic synthesis and is widely used as a chiral raw material in the synthesis of natural products and the preparation of new polymeric materials. |
biological activity | D-(-)-Quinic acid is a cyclohexyl carboxylic acid that is related to the acidity of coffee. |
Use | D-(-)-quinic acid has the effects of enhancing bile, reducing fat, detoxifying liver and preventing fatty liver. A plant metabolite is a chiral structural unit of multi-step chemical synthesis of natural products. It has been used as a standard to determine the composition of organic acids in gentian bitter tea and developed cranberry fruit by HPLC. |
