A derivative of dolichol was formed and then chemically degraded to a small fragment containing the sole centre of asymmetry of the original molecule. Polarimetric comparison of this derivative with a standard prepared from (R)-citronellol showed dolichol to have an S-configuration at C-3. To determine the optical purity of dolichol a diastereoisomeric derivative was prepared and compared with standard diastereoisomers, which could be resolved by high-pressure liquid chromatography. Dolichols from pig liver, human liver and hen oviduct were analysed by this procedure and were all found to be greater than 95% S-configuration.
形成了一种多萜醇衍生物,然后将其化学降解为一个小片段,该片段包含原始分子唯一的不对称中心。将该衍生物与由(R)-香茅醇制备的标准品进行旋光比较,结果表明多萜醇在C-3处具有S-构型。为了测定多萜醇的光学纯度,制备了一种非对映异构体衍生物,并与可通过高压液相色谱分离的标准非对映异构体进行比较。用该方法分析了猪肝、人肝和鸡输卵管中的多萜醇,发现它们的S-构型均大于95%。
