Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a physical separation method, in particular to a method for extracting and separating shikimic acid from star anise. Background technique
[0002] The molecular formula of shikimic acid is C 7 h 10 o 5 , the relative molecular weight is 174.15, the scientific name is 3,4,5-trihydroxy-1-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid, it is white fine powder, slightly gas, bitter acid, soluble in water, insoluble in chloroform, benzene And petroleum ether, the melting point is 185Β°C, and the optical rotation is -180Β°. There are three hydroxyl groups, one carboxyl group, and one double bond in the molecular structure of shikimic acid, and it has chiral isomers. It can form esters or salts. Shikimic acid is an intermediate in the synthesis of biological and metabolic compounds, and it is also a raw material for the synthesis of many alkaloids, aromatic amino acids and indole derivatives, and chiral drugs (such as antiviral drugs). Shikimic ac...
