Possibilities of linear-dichroic infrared (IR-LD) spectroscopy based on oriented solid samples as suspension in nematic liquid crystal have been applied for detailed experimental IR-band assignment and structural information of 2-[5,5-dimethyl-3-(2-phenyl-vinil)-cyclohex-2-enylidene]-malononitrile, 2-[5,5-dimethyl-3-[2-(2-methoxyphenyl)vinyl]cyclo-hex-2-enylidene]malononitrile and 2-[3-[2-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)vinyl]-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enylidene]malononitrile. The data of last two compounds have

A simple and sensitive method for the determination of isophorone in food samples was developed by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Isophorone was separated within 10 min by GC-MS using a DB-1 capillary column and

The sonochemical asymmetric hydrogenation of isophorone (3,3,5-trimethyl-2-cyclohexenone) by proline-modified Pd/Al2O3 catalysts is described; presonication of a commercial Pd/Al2O3-proline catalytic system resulted in highly enhanced enantioselectivities (up to 85% ee).

Generation of volatiles by thermal treatments has been studied in saffron spice for two reasons: (a) to determine volatile profile changes during simulated aging processes and (b) to study the volatile generation pathway. During the aging process, while the amounts
