Candida antarctica lipase A (CAL-A) selectively catalyzes the acylation at the secondary C-4 hydroxyl group of methyl shikimate (2), which possesses three secondary hydroxyl groups, the C-3 allylic one being chemically more reactive. The effect both of the acyl group of the acylating agents and of the solvent polarity has been studied. The selectivity of CAL-A is almost complete with acyl donors that possess short chains. However, when acyl donors have longer chains, better results are obtained by C. antarctica lipase B (CAL-B).
An efficient transformation of quinic acid to shikimic acid derivatives
Alves, Cristina,Barros, M. Teresa,Maycock, Christopher D.,Ventura, M. Rita

The synthesis of (-)-methyl shikimate and (-)-methyl 3-epi-shikimate and the 3-aminoshikimate derivative have been achieved via short and efficient mutes from quinic acid.
