An Unambiguous Nomenclature for the Acyl-quinic Acids Commonly Known as Chlorogenic Acids
journal contribution
posted on 2017-04-18, 00:00 authored by László Abrankó, Michael N. CliffordThe
history of the acyl-quinic acids is briefly reviewed, the merits
and limitations of the various nomenclature systems applicable are
critically compared, and their limitations are highlighted, in particular
their inability to provide an unambiguous description of all quinic
acid enantiomers and diastereoisomers and associated acyl-quinic acids.
Recommendations are made for a nomenclature system that in combination
with IUPAC numbering achieves this objective. A comprehensive set
of structures for the quinic acid enantiomers and diastereoisomers
is presented. The Supporting Information provides an explanation of
trivial names and a decision tree to determine which quinic acid isomer
a structure represents.
