Formation of 3-Hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone (Sotolone) from 4-Hydroxy-l-isoleucine and 3-Amino-4,5-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2(5H)-furanone

The proposed formation of 3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone (sotolone) from 4-hydroxy-l-isoleucine (1) and the corresponding lactone 3-amino-4,5-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2(5H)-furanone (2) by thermally induced oxidative deamination was corroborated. The formation of sotolone was studied in model sys...

Description
Summary:The proposed formation of 3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone (sotolone) from 4-hydroxy-l-isoleucine (1) and the corresponding lactone 3-amino-4,5-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2(5H)-furanone (2) by thermally induced oxidative deamination was corroborated. The formation of sotolone was studied in model systems by reacting 1 or 2 with different carbonyl compounds in a phosphate buffer at pH 5 at 100 °C for 1 h. The amount of sotolone was quantified by stable isotope dilution assays using 13C2-labeled sotolone as internal standard and GC-MS operating in the selected ion monitoring mode. In general, α-ketoaldehydes were found to be more reactive than α-diketones. Methylglyoxal gave rise to about 64 μg sotolone per mg 1 (7.4 mol %) compared to less than 1 μg (
