Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance can be used to identify the presence in polyprenols of cis and trans and of saturated isoprene residues. It will also allow recognition that the residues are internal, ω-terminal, or “OH-terminal” in the polyisoprenoid chain. The use of benzene as a solvent, as well as carbon tetrachloride, is shown to offer advantages in these studies. The application of the technique to obtain quantitative data on the number of residues of different type and configuration is illustrated by reference to naturally occurring polyprenols. The significance of the findings to the biosynthesis of these polyprenols is discussed.
