Quinic acid is a cyclitol, a cyclic polyol, and a cyclohexanecarboxylic acid. It is a colorless solid that can be extracted from plant sources. Quinic acid is implicated in the perceived acidity of coffee.

Occurrence and preparation

[edit]

The compound is obtained from cinchona bark, coffee beans, and the bark of Eucalyptus globulus.[2] It is a constituent of the tara tannins.

Urtica dioica, the European stinging nettle, is another common source.[citation needed]

It is made synthetically by hydrolysis of chlorogenic acid. Quinic acid is also implicated in the perceived acidity of coffee.

History and biosynthesis

[edit]
Shikimic acid, biosynthetic precursor to aromatic amino acids, is a close relative of quinic acid.

This substance was isolated for the first time in 1790 by German pharmacist Friedrich Christian Hofmann in Leer from Cinchona.[3] Its transformation into hippuric acid by animal metabolism was studied by German chemist Eduard Lautemann in 1863.[4]

Its biosynthesis begins with the transformation of glucose into erythrose 4-phosphate. This four-carbon substrate is condensed with phosphoenol pyruvate to give the seven-carbon 3-deoxy-D-arabinoheptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAHP) by the action of a synthase. Two subsequent steps involving dehydroquinic acid synthase and a dehydrogenase afford the compound.[5]

Derived bicyclic lactones are called quinides. One example is 4-caffeoyl-1,5-quinide.

Dehydrogenation and oxidation of quinic acid affords gallic acid.[5]

Applications and medicinal activity

[edit]

Quinic acid is used as an astringent.

This acid is a versatile chiral starting material for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals.[5] It is a building block in the synthesis of Oseltamivir, which is used to treat influenza A and B.
