Résumé : |
Frankincense has a unique odor and is an important fragrance material for Japanese incense. The constituents of frankincense vary according to the species of tree from which the resin is derived. The aroma profile of the frankincense used in Japanese incense showed that the important odor components were diterpenes, and incensole and its derivatives. These compounds have not been previously recognized as important odor compounds, and the relative stereochemistry of the diterpenes has not been assigned. We investigated the stereochemical structures of these compounds through synthetic studies with respect to 2. Incensole epoxide was isolated as pure crystals, and its structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The stereochemistry of the diterpenes was assigned by synthetic methods. Incensole and incensole acetate in the hexane extracts gradually oxidized to their epoxides, although this was not observed in the isolated pure compounds. These results indicate that incensole epoxides are not primary constituents of frankincense, but secondary products. |
