Retention data are presented for three types of commonly used stationary phases: dimethyl silicone (nonpolar), dimethyl sili- cone with 5% phenyl groups (slightly polar), and polyethylene glycol (polar) stationary phases. The evaluations are based on the treatment of multiple measurements with the number of data records ranging from about 5 to 800 per compound. Data analysis was limited to temperature programmed conditions. The data reported include the average and median values of retention index with standard deviations and confidence intervals.

The alkali concentrations, reaction temperature and the Pd metal content were optimized to enhance the citral hydrogenation under aqueous media. In the absence of alkali, ci- tral hydrogenation was low and addition of alkali promoted to ~92% hydrogenation without re- duction in the selectivity to citronellal. The alkali addition appears to be altered the palladium sites. The pore size distribution reveals that the pore size of these catalysts is in the range of 0.96 to 0.7 nm. The palladium active sites are also quite uniform based on the TPR data. The catalytic parameters are correlated well with the activity data. *Corresponding author.

The major oil constituents were found to be dillapiole, y-terpinene, sabinene, limo- nene and ß-phellandrene. The Western populations were richer in dillapiole, whereas the Southern collections were characterized by increased amounts of thymol methyl ether and y-terpinene. The Italian chemical profiles differentiated by the significant contributions of carvacrol methyl ether and isoterpinolene. The essential oils were also investigated for their insecticidal activity and their repellency against Pheidole pallidula (Nylander) ants and found to possess significant activity.

  • Biosynthesis of Natural Products

    Biosynthesis of Natural Products

    63 2. Biosynthesis of Natural Products - Terpene Biosynthesis 2.1 Introduction Terpenes are a large and varied class of natural products, produced primarily by a wide variety of plants, insects, microoroganisms and animals. They are the major components of resin, and of turpentine produced from resin. The name "terpene" is derived from the word "turpentine". Terpenes are major biosynthetic building blocks within nearly every living creature. Steroids, for example, are derivatives of the triterpene squalene. When terpenes are modified, such as by oxidation or rearrangement of the carbon skeleton, the resulting compounds are generally referred to as terpenoids. Some authors will use the term terpene to include all terpenoids. Terpenoids are also known as Isoprenoids. Terpenes and terpenoids are the primary constituents of the essential oils of many types of plants and flowers. Essential oils are used widely as natural flavor additives for food, as fragrances in perfumery, and in traditional and alternative medicines such as aromatherapy. Synthetic variations and derivatives of natural terpenes and terpenoids also greatly expand the variety of aromas used in perfumery and flavors used in food additives. Recent estimates suggest that over 30'000 different terpenes have been characterized from natural sources. Early on it was recognized that the majority of terpenoid natural products contain a multiple of 5C-atoms. Hemiterpenes consist of a single isoprene unit, whereas the monoterpenes include e.g.: Monoterpenes CH2OH CHO CH2OH OH Myrcens

    DIFFERENCES in Terpenoid Levels Between Plant Species Are Known To

    GENETICS OF TEP.PENES I. GENE CONTROL OF MONOTERPENE LEVELS IN PINUS MONTICOLA DOUGL. JAMES W. HANOVER Geneticist, Forestry Sciences Laboratory, lntermountain Forest and Range Experiment Station, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Moscow, Idaho * Receivedi o.v.6 1.INTRODUCTION DIFFERENCESin terpenoid levels between plant species are known to exist but little is known about their genetic bases. The terpenes have been used extensively in biochemical systematic studies in Pinus (Mirov, 1958, 1961; Williams and Bannister, 1962; Forde, 1964), Eucalyptus (Baker and Smith, 1920; Penfold and Morrison, 1927), Cup ressacee (Erdtman, 1958),andmany other plant families and genera (Alston and Turner, 1963).Thesestudies were usually based upon the assumption that variation within a species is relatively small. Although this may be valid in some cases, Bannister et al. (1962)andothers have shown that the level of terpenes can vary with geographic origin within a species. Recent data on tree-to-tree variability in the monoterpenes of Pinus ponderosa Laws. show that such variation can be relatively large (Smith, 1964). Results of similar work in our laboratory with western white pine (Pinus monticola Dougi.) also revealed substantial qualitative and quantitative variation in the cortex monoterpenes between trees. In order to provide a basis for the use of terpenes for comparative biochemical studies, an understanding of both their variability and mode of inheritance is essential. The objective of the present study is to demonstrate the degree to which levels of six monoterpene compounds are gene-controlled in western white pine. Interrelations among the terpenes and between terpenes and growth are also considered, 2.MATERIALS AND METHODS Thematerials for this study are of three types: (i) parents—as clonal lines of grafts, () F1 progeny from crosses between the ortets (parents) represented by the clones, and () S1 progeny of the parent trees.
