Determination of arrangement of isoprene units in pig liver dolichol by 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy.


ABSTRACT: The arrangement of isoprene units in pig liver dolichol-18, -19 and -20 was determined by 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopies. The alignment of trans and cis isoprene units was found to be in the order: dimethylallyl unit, two trans units, a sequence of 14-16 cis units, and a saturated isoprene unit terminated with a hydroxyl group, which verified the presumed chemical structure of dolichol. The absence of geometric isomers was confirmed. A slight amount of impurity was detected in each reversed-phase h.p.l.c. fraction of dolichol obtained by a conventional method. Detailed assignments of the 13C-n.m.r. spectrum were given for these dolichols by using model compounds and INEPT (insensitive nuclei enhanced by polarization transfer) measurement. The chemical structure of synthetic dolichol-19, which was prepared by the addition of a saturated isoprene unit to the polyprenol-18 isolated from Ginkgo biloba, was confirmed to be identical with that of pig liver dolichol-19.
