Study on selective isolation of volatile oil in the seed of Fructus foeniculi / 中国中药杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the selective isolation of a single chemical component from volatile oil of Fructus foeniculi by inclucion method.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The host molecule was selected and a single chemical component isolated from volatile oil by the host-guest recognition.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>X-ray single crystal analysis showed that 1,1,6,6-tetraphenylhexa-2, 4-diyne-1, 6-diol could successfully include 4-[1-propenyl] benzaldehyde from volatile oil of Fructus foeniculi.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The host-guest inclusion technology can be used to isolate a single component selectively from mixture.</p>
