Abstract: | Gas-chromatographic-mass spectrometric evidence is presented for epimerization of esters of 2,3-dihydroxy fatty acids. Methyl erythro-2,3-dihydroxy octadecanoate produced by the action of osmium tetroxide on methyl cis-2-octadecenoate is partially epimerized to the threo-2,3-dihydroxy isomer under the influence of pyridine during the derivatization to the corresponding O-trimethylsilyl derivative. Both epimers can be separated by gas-chromatography and can be identified by their characteristic fragmentation patterns. |
