Vendor the rebranded BoosAPI Desktop client (Tauri + Vue) into metapi as a monorepo subdirectory under desktop/. Source only — node_modules, dist, Cargo target and the upstream .git history are excluded. desktop/ keeps its own independent Cargo workspace (desktop/src-tauri with crates/*); it is not part of the backend boosapi crate, so a `cargo check` at the metapi root still compiles only the backend. Build the desktop app from desktop/src-tauri per desktop/README.md. Note: app icons are still placeholder assets pending the final BoosAPI logo. The updater signing keys live outside the repo and are not included.

Assessing Translation Needs\n\n\n\n
I've begun by dissecting the core requirements of this translation task. My focus is on synthesizing the Chinese structural elucidation paragraph into a concise, SCI-paper-ready English version. The expert role helps me tailor the language appropriately, and I'm aware of the final format requirements. Next, I need to understand the nuances of the Chinese text.
Evaluating Initial Approaches
\n\n
My current thinking revolves around the initial approach to this translation. I'm prioritizing accuracy, which means a deep dive into the source text to extract the core scientific meaning. I plan to use my expertise to identify key terms and phrasing to ensure the English version is clear and meets journal standards. Considering Compound 3 requires specialized knowledge.
Here is the translation of the structural elucidation for Compound 3, following standard SCI journal formatting and terminology.Compound 3 was obtained as a white powder with an optical rotation of [\\alpha]^{25}_{\\text{D}} –76.7 (c 0.1, MeOH). Its high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS) exhibited a deprotonated molecular ion peak at m/z 339.0726 [M–H]^– (calcd for C${15}$H${15}$O$9$^–, 339.0722), establishing the molecular formula as C${15}$H$_{16}$O$_9$, corresponding to eight degrees of unsaturation.
Analysis of the $^{1}$H and $^{13}$C NMR data (Table 3) revealed characteristic signals at \\delta_{\\text{H}} 7.12 (2H, s, H-2$'/6'$) and \\delta_{\\text{C}} 167.7 (C-7$'$), 146.4 (2C, C-3$'/5'$), 139.9 (C-4$'$), 121.4 (C-1$'$), and 110.4 (2C, C-2$'/6'$), clearly indicating the presence of a galloyl moiety. Additionally, signals at \\delta_{\\text{H}} 3.75 (3H, s, –OCH$_3$) and \\delta_{\\text{C}} 52.5 (–OCH$_3$) confirmed the existence of a methoxy group.
To precisely elucidate the structure, the NMR data of 3 were compared with those of the known compound 5-$O$-galloyl-(–)-shikimic acid [Reference]. The spectra showed high similarity in both the galloyl moiety and the shikimic acid skeleton, with chemical shifts and coupling patterns matching well with the reference. Notably, the H-5 proton signal of 3 at \\delta_{\\text{H}} 5.75 (1H, br s) was significantly downfield shifted, consistent with the deshielding effect observed in 5-$O$-galloyl-(–)-shikimic acid. This strongly supported the attachment of the galloyl group to the C-5 hydroxyl of the shikimic acid unit via an ester linkage. The primary structural difference between 3 and 5-$O$-galloyl-(–)-shikimic acid was located at C-7. In the HMBC spectrum (Fig. 2), a distinct correlation between the methoxy protons at \\delta_{\\text{H}} 3.75 and the C-7 carbonyl carbon of the shikimate core at \\delta_{\\text{C}} 168.3 confirmed that the C-7 carboxyl group was methylated to form a methyl ester.
The NOESY spectrum (Fig. 2) exhibited correlations of H-4 (\\delta_{\\text{H}} 4.00) with H-2a (\\delta_{\\text{H}} 2.32) and H-5 (\\delta_{\\text{H}} 5.75), as well as H-3 (\\delta_{\\text{H}} 4.12) with H-2b (\\delta_{\\text{H}} 2.79). These correlations indicated that H-3 is cis-oriented relative to the 4-OH and 5-OH groups. The absolute configuration was further determined as (3$R$, 4$S$, 5$R$) by calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) analysis (Fig. 4).
Based on the comprehensive spectroscopic analysis and comparison with 5-$O$-galloyl-(–)-shikimic acid, the structure of 3 was identified as methyl 5-$O$-galloyl-(–)-shikimate.
