Henry B Wedler, Ryan P Pemberton, Val`ere Lounnas, Gert Vriend, Dean J Tantillo, Selina C Wang: Quantum chemical study of the isomerization of 24-methylenecycloartanol, a potential marker of olive oil refining. In: Journal of Molecular Modeling, vol. 21, no. 5, pp. 111, 2015, ISSN: 0948-5023.
Abstract
Quantum chemical calculations on the isomerization of 24-methylenecycloartanol are described. An energetically viable mechanism, with a rate-determining protonation step, is proposed. This rearrangement may find applicability in tests for determining if an olive oil has been refined.
