“…The optical rotations of (1R,4R,5S) (Z)-3 and (1R,4S,5S)(E)-1 sabinene hydrates, isolated from marjoram, were determined previously by Granger et al, 17 and (1R,4S,5S)(E)-sabinene hydrate 1 [(+)-transsabinene hydrate] was isolated from the oil of Mentha candicans in very large quantities (85.3%). 18 The enantiomers of (E)-sabinene hydrate 1 + 2 and (Z)-sabinene hydrate 3 + 4 from the flush growth of Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) [19][20][21] and from other Melaleuca spp. 22,23 were separated and analysed on a β-cyclodextrin chiral phase by one-and two-dimensional gas chromatography.…”
