Wine aroma is an important characteristic and may be related to certain specific parameters, such as raw material and production process. The complexity of Merlot wine aroma was considered suitable for comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatog. (GC 脳 GC), as this technique offers superior performance when compared to one-dimensional gas chromatog. (1D-GC). The profile of volatile compounds of Merlot wine was, for the first time, qual. analyzed by HS-SPME-GC 脳 GC with a time-of-flight mass spectrometric detector (TOFMS), resulting in 179 compounds tentatively identified by comparison of exptl. GC 脳 GC retention indexes and mass spectra with literature 1D-GC data and 155 compounds tentatively identified only by mass spectra comparison. A set of GC 脳 GC exptl. retention indexes was also, for the first time, presented for a specific inverse set of columns. Esters were present in higher number (94), followed by alcs. (80), ketones (29), acids (29), aldehydes (23), terpenes (23), lactones (16), furans (14), sulfur compounds (9), phenols (7), pyrroles (5), C13-norisoprenoids (3), and pyrans (2). GC 脳 GC/TOFMS parameters were improved and optimal conditions were: a polar (polyethylene glycol)/medium polar (50% Ph 50% di-Me arylene siloxane) column set, oven temperature offset of 10 掳C, 7 s as modulation period and 1.4 s of hot pulse duration. Co-elutions came up to 138 compounds in 1D and some of them were resolved in 2D. Among the co-eluted compounds, thirty-three volatiles co-eluted in both 1D and 2D and their tentative identification was possible only due to spectral deconvolution. Some compounds that might have important contribution to aroma notes were included in these superimposed peaks. Structurally organized distribution of compounds in the 2D space was observed for esters, aldehydes and ketones, alcs., thiols, lactones, acids and also inside subgroups, as occurred with esters and alcs. The Fischer Ratio was useful for establishing the analytes responsible for the main differences between Merlot and non-Merlot wines. Differentiation among Merlot wines and wines of other grape varieties were mainly perceived through the following components: Et dodecanoate, 1-hexanol, Et nonanoate, Et hexanoate, Et decanoate, dehydro-2-methyl-3(2H)thiophenone, 3-Me butanoic acid, Et tetradecanoate, Me octanoate, 1,4 butanediol, and 6-methyloctan-1-ol. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 2-Ethylhexyl benzoate (cas: 5444-75-7COA of Formula: C15H22O2).
2-Ethylhexyl benzoate (cas: 5444-75-7) belongs to esters. Carboxylic acid esters of low molecular weight are colourless, volatile liquids with pleasant odours, slightly soluble in water. Acyl chlorides and acid anhydrides alcoholysis is another way to produce esters. Acyl chlorides and acid anhydrides react with alcohols to produce esters. Anydrous conditions are recommended since both acyl chlorides and acid anhydrides react with water.COA of Formula: C15H22O2
