Composition of lipids from sunflower pollen (Helianthus annuus)
摘要:
The contents of the pollen lipids of the sunflower Helianthus annuus are described. The major component is the seco-triterpene helianyl octanoate, followed by new beta-diketones as second major group of compounds. They exhibit a shorter chain length and often other positions of the functional group compared to already known beta-diketones. Of particular note are the 1-phenyl-beta-diketones. not previously reported from nature. Further lipid classes present are related hydroxyketones and diols. Interestingly, new beta-dioxoalkanoic acids are present in the extracts. which most likely are biogenetic precursors of the diketones. Additionally, we investigated the composition of the pollen coat which resembles the total extract, but lacks the dioxoalkanoic acids and certain estolides. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

[reaction: see text] Chiral bidentate silyl reagents have been developed for the GC analysis of aliphatic 1,3- and 1,4-diols. These reagents react with the diols to cyclic siloxanes, which allow the determination of their enantiomeric composition even in complex mixtures. The absoluteconfiguration of 4,6-nonadecanediol 7, occurring in the lipids of sunflower pollen, has been determined to be (4S,6R)
