Protection of the trans diol of quinic acid, followed by PCC oxidation, gave fully protected dehydroquinic acid. This gave methyl dehydroquinate on mild acid catalyzed hydrolysis. Ester hydrolysis then gave potassium dehydroquinate which was treated with amberlite to afford dehydroquinic acid.enShikimate pathwayDehydroquinic acidSynthesisSelective protectionJournal article002006447910.1081/SCC-1200158050001818360000032-s2.0-003723674850275Abell, A.
