(3R)-and luoro-(4R,5R)-dihydroxy-1-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acids (the
(3R)-and (3S)-fluoro analogues of (-)-shikimic acid) have been synthe
sised from (-)-shikimic acid via an intermediate epoxide (a fungal met
abolite from Chalara microspora) that underwent acid catalysed hydroly
sis to afford the first stereospecific synthesis of (-)-3-epi-shikimic
acid. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
