Tinomiscium petiolare Hook. f. & Thomson is a medicinal species of the genus Tinomiscium (Menispermaceae). This species grows naturally in mixed forests at an altitude of 200 to 600 m in tropical Asian countries, including Vietnam. The literature search has not revealed any reports of the chem. composition and antifungal activity of the root oils of T. petiolare. The average yield of the essential oil was 0.05% ± 0.01 (v/w) calculated on a dry weight basis. In addition, significant quantities of γ-terpinene (5.50%), β-bisabolene (5.07%), geraniol (4.82%), geranyl acetate (4.70%), and (Z)-ligustilide (4.45%) were also present in the oil. This is to our knowledge the first report on the chem. composition of T. petiolare root oil. Results show that the root oil of T. petiolare inhibited the growth of Aspergillus niger with an MIC value of 200 μ g/mL. The antifungal activity of essential oil can be explained by the presence of geranial and neral. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (E)-3,7-Dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl acetate (cas: 105-87-3Application In Synthesis of (E)-3,7-Dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl acetate).
(E)-3,7-Dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl acetate (cas: 105-87-3) belongs to esters. Esters are widespread in nature and are widely used in industry. In nature, fats are in general triesters derived from glycerol and fatty acids. Esters are responsible for the aroma of many fruits, including apples, durians, pears, bananas, pineapples, and strawberries. Esters are more polar than ethers but less polar than alcohols. They participate in hydrogen bonds as hydrogen-bond acceptors, but cannot act as hydrogen-bond donors, unlike their parent alcohols. This ability to participate in hydrogen bonding confers some water-solubility.Application In Synthesis of (E)-3,7-Dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl acetate
