Von Wettstein-Knowles, Penny published the artcile7-Oxopentadecan-2-ol esters – a new epicuticular wax lipid class, Recommanded Product: 5-Tridecanol, the main research area is oxopentadecanol ester barley epicuticular wax.
The alkan-1-ol and alkan-2-ol esters (primarily, C38-48 and C33-35, resp.) of barley epicuticular waxes are known to arise via 2 different biosynthetic pathways. A third type of ester (∼0.2% by weight of spike wax), previously unknown in these plant lipids, was identified. The esters were isolated via preparative TLC together with the longer chain primary alcs. From the effects of chem. treatments analyzed with the aid of TLC and gas chromatog. (GC), the presence of an oxo group in the alc. moiety was deduced. GC-mass spectrometry of the esters and their alc. moieties before and after NaBH4 treatment and of the fatty acid moieties resulted in the identification of at least 3 7-oxopentadecan-2-ol esters (C33, C35, and C37). 2,7-Dihydroxypentadecane was synthesized and its mass spectrum found to be identical to that of the reduced ester alc. moiety. A determination of the relative amounts of these esters in 10 different genotypes supports the contention that biosynthetically the pentadecan-2-ol esters are precursors of those containing an oxo group on C 7.
Carlsberg Research Communications published new progress about Barley. 58783-82-7 belongs to class alcohols-buliding-blocks, name is 5-Tridecanol, and the molecular formula is C13H28O, Recommanded Product: 5-Tridecanol.
