Enantiomeric methyl dihydrojasmonates (MDHJs) were separated by chiral gas chromatography (GC) and high performance liquid chromatography. Organoleptical evaluation clearly revealed that all four stereoisomers are odor-active and differ in their olfactory properties. Using enantio-multidimensional capillary GC -mass spectrometry with heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-tert butyldimethylsilyl)-b-cyclodextrin as the chiral stationary phase, the direct enantioselective analysis of all four stereoisomers of MDHJ in numerous natural products was achieved for the first time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
