Abstract
Here, we report an efficient synthesis of L-(+)-quinic acid from the natural product D-(–)-quinic acid in a twelve-step sequence. The key steps involve the kinetic controlled selective protection of a lactone intermediate and the inversion of two stereocentres: the C-3 and C-5 hydroxyl of the quinic acid core using optimized oxidation-reduction conditions.
