Preparation of Fatty Acid Methyl Esters and Dimethylacetals from Lipids with Boron Fluoride--methanol.

چکیده
Fatty acid methyl esters and dimethylacetals suitable for gas chromatographic analysis were prepared by treatment of lipids with boron fluoride-methanol (140 g BFI per liter of methanol). This reagent is stable and easy to handle. Reaction conditions were investigated for triglycerides, diglycerides, monoglycerides, free fatty acids, sterol esters, phosphatidyl ethanolamines, phosphatidyl serines, phosphatidyl 'cholines, monophosphoinositides, monogalactosyl glycerides, phosphatidal cholines (choline plasmalogens), digalactosyl glycerides, and sphingomyelins. The methyl esters and dimethylacetals were readily purified by thin-layer chromatography, and yields were quantitative. There were few undesirable side reactions, and they did not affect the validity of the method. The procedure developed is simple, rapid, and generally applicable t o lipids.

Separation and Isolation of Methyl Esters and Dimethylacetals Formed from Brain Lipids.
THE PROCEDURE of Stoffel, Chu, and Ahrens (1) for preparing and separating the methyl esters of fatty acids and the dimethylacetals (DMA) when applied to brain lipid extracts proved adequate for the nonoxygenated fatty acids and DMA. Some of the cholesterol in the extract, however, was converted to derivatives, one of which, A3kholestadiene (2), sublimed along with the methyl esters and the DMA...

Lipid metabolism in the rumen is responsible for the complex fatty acid profile of rumen outflow compared with the dietary fatty acid composition, contributing to the lipid profile of ruminant products. A method for the detailed dimethylacetal and fatty acid analysis of rumen contents was developed and applied to rumen content collected from lambs fed lucerne or concentrate based diets suppleme...

A convenient method using commercial aqueous concentrated HCl (conc. HCl; 35%, w/w) as an acid catalyst was developed for preparation of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) from sterol esters, triacylglycerols, phospholipids, and FFAs for gas-liquid chromatography (GC). An 8% (w/v) solution of HCl in methanol/water (85:15, v/v) was prepared by diluting 9.7 ml of conc. HCl with 41.5 ml of methanol....
