The aliphatic enone filbertone 2, the active constituent of the flavor of hazelnuts, is a natural product with low and source‐dependent enantiomeric purity. (ee = 55–63%). To assign the (predominant) absolute configuration (S), (S)‐2 was synthesized from (S)‐1. The configuration of 2 has a decisive influence on the smell.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
