FERULOYL ESTERS OF ω-HYDROXYACIDS IN CORK SUBERIN

摘要

Feruloyl esters of ω-hydroxyacids were found in the alcoholysis products of suberin from Quercus suber cork. Their identification was made from mass spectra and by comparison with synthetic model compounds. The ω-hydroxyls of suberinic hydroxyacids are thought to be the ester-bonding points between suberin aliphatics and associated aromatics.
