Study Notes
Preparation of Scillaren A
- Fresh bulbs combined with ammonium sulfate initiate the extraction process.
- Tannin solution is incorporated, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate.
- Lead acetate precipitates residual tannin, which is then filtered.
- The resulting filtrate is evaporated to dryness using extracted methanol.
- Concentration leads to crystallization of Scillaren A.
Triterpenes
- Triterpenes consist of six isoprene units, with a chemical formula of C30H48.
Volatile Oils
- Monoterpenes are the most frequently encountered terpenes within volatile oils.
- Terpenes are present in both acyclic and bicyclic configurations.
Classification of Volatile Oil Constituents
- Hydrocarbons
- Alcohols
- Aldehydes
- Ketones
- Esters
- Phenols and phenolic ethers
- Oxides
- Peroxides
- Sulfur compounds
- Nitrogen compounds
Resins
- Resins are solid, amorphous substances characterized by complex chemical structures.
- Upon heating, resins soften and eventually melt.
