The synthesis of 6,6-difluoroshikimic acid (11) has been achieved in ten steps from the enantiopure diol 16, which is derived from enzymatic cis-dihydroxylation of iodobenzene. The versatility of the synthetic strategy has been demonstrated by the preparation of the known antimicrobial agent, (6S)-6-fluoroshikimic acid (5). (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
