Two stereoisomeric zingiberenols in ginger were identified as (3R,6R,7S)-1,10-bisaboladien-3-ol (2) and (3S,6R,7S)-1,10-bisaboladien-3-ol (5). Absolute configurations were assigned by utilizing 1,10-bisaboladien-3-ol stereoisomers and two gas-chromatography columns: a 25 m Hydrodex-β-6TBDM and 60 m DB-5MS. The C-6 and C-7 absolute configurations in both zingiberenols match those of zingiberene present abundantly in ginger rhizomes. Interestingly, zingiberenol 2 has recently been identified as a male-produced sex pheromone of the rice stink bug, Oebalus poecilus, thus indicating that ginger plants may be a potential source of the sex pheromone of this bug.
在生姜中鉴定出两种对映异构体的姜烯醇,分别为(3R,6R,7S)-1,10-倍半萜-3-醇(2)和(3S,6R,7S)-1,10-倍半萜-3-醇(5)。通过利用 1,10-倍半萜-3-醇的对映异构体和两根气相色谱柱:25 m Hydrodex-β-6TBDM 和 60 m DB-5MS,确定了这两种姜烯醇的绝对构型。这两种姜烯醇的 C-6 和 C-7 绝对构型与生姜根茎中大量存在的姜烯一致。有趣的是,姜烯醇 2 最近被鉴定为水稻褐飞虱雄性产生的性信息素,表明生姜植物可能是这种昆虫性信息素的潜在来源。
