The title compound, 3C(7)H(10)O(6)·H(2)O, is the enanti-omerically pure product of a multi-step synthesis from the enanti-omerically pure natural shikimic acid. The asymmetric unit contains three mol-ecules of the acid and one mol-ecule of water. The cyclo-hexene rings of the acids have half-chair conformations. The carboxyl-ate, the four hydroxide groups and the additional water mol-ecule form a complex three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network. ...[more]
