4-Mercapto-2-heptanol, previously described in cooked bell pepper, was used to determine the impact of the stereochemistry on the sensory properties of a thiol with a 1,3-oxygen-sulfur functionality. In addition, the acetyl-derivatives 4-acetylthio-2-heptanol, 4-mercapto-2-heptyl acetate and 4-acetylthio-2-heptyl acetate were investigated. The synthesized stereoisomers were separated via capillary gas chromatography (GC) using chiral stationary phases. The GC orders of elution were determined by assigning the absolute configurations via NMR analysis in combination with lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolutions. Odor thresholds and odor properties were determined by means of GC/Olfactometry. The data revealed that the sensory properties of the investigated compounds are not only significantly influenced by the acetylation but also by the configurations of the two asymmetric centers.

2-Mercapto-4-heptanone, 4-mercapto-2-heptanone, and the corresponding mercaptoalcohols, previously identified in cooked red bell pepper (Capsicum annuum), were used as examples to determine the distributions of stereoisomers of naturally occurring polyfunctional thiols. The thiols were isolated using simultaneous distillation extraction and enriched by affinity chromatography. Enantioselective analysis was performed via multidimensional gas chromatography. For the studied cultivar California Wonder, the investigation of different batches of cooked red bell pepper revealed consistent ratios of the stereoisomers independent of origin and date of purchase. Quantitative estimations showed that the stereoisomers were present in cooked red bell peppers at concentrations in the range of 0.04-10.2 mu g/kg. Lower concentrations were observed in cooked green bell peppers. The change from green to red color was also accompanied by shifts in the proportions of stereoisomers in favor of the (S)-enantiomers of the mercaptoheptanones and of the (4S)-configured stereoisomers of 4-mercapto-2-heptanol.

the medium-chain homologues (C7–C9) of the 4-mercapto-2-alkanol stereoisomers. Except for the C5 homologue, the lowest odorthresholds were determined for the (2R,4R)-configured stereoisomers. The variability in odor qualities was mainly determined by the chain length. None of the 4-mercapto-2-alkanol stereoisomers showed consistent odor qualities for all homologues.
