Notes:
[Auszug] High resolution gas chromatography of the methyl esters of individual isoprenoid fatty acids isolated from a geological source of the Eocene period has shown a diastereoisomer composition compatible with a chlorophyll derivation for the acids. The L-menthyl esters give enhanced separation ...
