Abstract:
The enantiomeric composition and relative quantity of terpinen‐4‐ol was determined in laboratory made essential oils and in essential oils and samples of terpinen‐4‐ol from commercial sources using a permethylated‐β‐cyclodextrin‐coated chiral capillary column. Chromatographic enantiomeric resolution of terpinen‐4‐ol was achieved by injection of a purified fraction collected by preparative gas chromatography. (S)‐(+)‐Terpinen‐4‐ol with high enantiomeric purity was detected in three lavender oils of different origin. Copyright © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
