Conclusions Chapter 4<br />

Mono-acyl chlorogenic acids<br />

Mono-acyl chlorogenic acids synthesis achieved in four different ways by using 3, 4-<br />

O-Isopropylidene quinide, Troc protected quinide, bisacetonide and quinide as<br />

starting materilas. The products produced from 3, 4-O-Isopropylidene quinide were<br />

all pure after the reactions and didn’t require any purification. The products which are<br />

synthesised from Troc protecting quinide and quinide needed further purification<br />

which was performed by flash chromatography using chloroform /acetone mixture. It<br />

was reported that the hydrogen atom in chloroform is capable of hydrogen bonding to<br />

a suitable electron donor molecule. Therefore this combination (chloroform /acetone)<br />

wouldn’t be a good solvent choice. Surprisingly, it gave very sufficient results for the<br />

synthesis of chlorgenic acids purifications.<br />

The products produced from 3, 4-O-Isopropylidene quinide at -1 position<br />

The synthesised compounds were obtained by acylation of quinide acetal with 1.1<br />

equivalent cinnamoyl chloride by using DMAP in dichloromethane and N, N, N-<br />

Triethylamine solution. These esters were stirred in THF/ H 2 O solution to provide<br />

corresponding mono-acyl chlorogenic acids. The list of the products synthesised from<br />

3, 4-O-Isopropylidene quinide (45) as shown below;<br />
