The major cycloadduct, arising from the Diels-Alder reaction of maleic anhydride and (1E)-(2',3',4',6'-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)buta- 1,3-diene, is converted into methyl 3-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-4-epi-shikimate and into (-)-4-epi-shikimic acid in overall yields of 20 and 17% (based on the diene).
