Optical isomers of methyl jasmonate in tea aroma
1996
Two epimers of methyl jasmonate were optically resolved by capillary gas chromatography, using heptakis (2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin as the chiral stationary phase. In the tea volatile concentrates, both of these epimers were present as only one enantiomer, their absolute configurations being ascertained as (–)-(1R,2R)-methyl jasmonate and (+)-(1R,2S)-methyl epijasmonate.The thermal isomerization of methyl epijamonate to methyl jasmonate was also clarified by optically resolved gas chromatography to have occurred at the asymmetric carbon of the C-2 position that is connected to the carbonyl group.
