Abstract: | Trifluoroacetate (TFA) derivatives of methyl 12-hydroxystearate, methyl ricinoleate, five positional isomers of methylthreo- anderythro-dihydroxystearate, four diastereoisomeric methyl 9,10–12-trihydroxystearates, and four racemic diastereoisomeric methyl 9,10–12,13-tetrahydroxystearates were prepared and analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC). The isomericthreo- anderythro-dihydroxystearates that had not previously been resolved by GLC were separated. Excellent resolution of the diastereoisomeric pairs of methylthreo- anderythro-9,10–12-triand and methylerythro, erythro- andthreo, threo-9,10–12,13-tetrahydroxystearates was obtained by GLC of their TFA derivatives. Analyses of these high-molecular-weight compounds were carried out on polar and nonpolar packed columns used routinely for methyl ester analysis. The various methyl mono-, di-, tri-, and tetrahydroxysterate esters were also analyzed by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) on Silica Gel G adsorbent layers and on Silica Gel G impregnated with sodium arsenite. Relative and absolute configurations were assigned to the various diastereoisomeric tri- and tetrahydroxysterates based on information obtained from GLC, TLC, synthetic ratios, and molecular-models. A micro hydroxylation method that gives quantitative yields ofthreo- anderythro-dihydroxy acids from various concentrations of C18 monoene geometrical isomers was developed. Subsequent GLC analysis of the isomeric methyl dihydroxy TFA derivatives allows the quantitative determination of double-bond configuration on small samples without expensive or specialized equipment.
