All four stereoisomers of the fragrance Jasmal of structure 3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-3-pentyl-2H-pyran-4-yl acetate were prepared by enzymatic resolutions of the corresponding alcohols. The absolute configurations were unambiguously determined by comparison with the enantiomer (3R,4S)-1 prepared from L-tartaric acid. The four stereoisomers of the fragrance Jessemal of structure 3-butyl-5-methyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl acetate were obtained starting from the epoxy alcohol 10, which was obtained in an optically pure state by enzymatic resolution of the racemic mixture. The olfactory evaluations of all stereoisomers are reported. (1)H-NMR Conformational analysis of diastereoisomers (3RS,4RS,5RS)-2 and (3RS,4SR,5RS)-2 is also reported.

Characterization of Odor-Active 2-Ethyldimethyl-1,3,6-trioxocane Isomers in Polyurethane Materials.

Polymers (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Chemistry, TUM School of Natural Sciences, Technical University of Munich, Lichtenbergstraße 4, 85748 Garching, Germany.

Polyurethane materials, widely used in indoor environments, occasionally exhibit unpleasant odors. An important source of polyurethane odorants is polyether polyols. Previous studies identified odorous 2-ethyldimethyl-1,3,6-trioxocanes in polyurethane materials and polyols but did not investigate the odor activity of the individual isomers.

Coimmobilized Dual Enzymes in a Continuous Flow Reactor for the Efficient Synthesis of Optically Pure γ/δ-Lactones.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Bioreactor Engineering, Shanghai Collaborative Innovation Center for Biomanufacturing, East China University of Science and Technology, Shanghai 200237, China.

Enzyme catalysis is a promising method for producing chiral chemicals with high stereoselectivity under mild conditions. However, the traditional batch reaction suffers from low enzyme stability, low cofactor recycling, and poor enzyme reusability. Here, we present a continuous-flow method using coimmobilized dual enzymes for the synthesis of chiral γ-/δ-lactones, which are widely used in fragrances and flavors.

Article Synopsis
  • Huangshan Maofeng (HSMF) is a well-known baked green tea from Anhui, China, recognized for its fresh flavor, while Zhejiang specializes in green tea production.
  • The study used advanced techniques like stir bar sorptive extraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to examine the aroma compounds and enantiomeric distribution in HSMF and Zhejiang baked green tea (ZJ-BGT).
  • Unique volatile compounds were found in both tea types, and certain compounds correlated with HSMF quality, highlighting specific enantiomers like S-jasmine lactone in HSMF that enhances flavor.

Skin- and airway-deliverable TRPA1 inhibitor.

Bioorg Med Chem

August 2024

Degree Programs in Pure and Applied Sciences, Graduate School of Science and Technology, University of Tsukuba, 1-1-1 Tennodai, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan.

This study explored the potential of perfumery compounds as sources of transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) inhibitors that could be formulated for effective delivery to the skin and airways. A highly potent, small, and selective TRPA1 inhibitor, 2-methyl-4-phenyl-1-pentanol (1), was discovered in perfumery compounds. Compound 1 demonstrated promising inhibitory activity against a broad range of TRPA1 agonists.

Replicating the sense of smell presents an ongoing challenge in the development of biomimetic devices. Olfactory receptors exhibit remarkable discriminatory abilities, including the enantioselective detection of individual odorant molecules. Graphene has emerged as a promising material for biomimetic electronic devices due to its unique electrical properties and exceptional sensitivity.
