Very-Long-Chain Wax Constituents from Primula veris and P. acaulis: Does the Paradigm of Non-Branched vs. Branched Chain Dominance Universally Hold in all Plant Taxa?

Herein n-, iso- and anteiso-series of very-long-chained (VLC) alkanes (C21–C35), fatty acid benzyl esters (FABEs; C20–C32), and 2-alkanones (C23–C35) were identified in the wax of Primula veris L. and P. acaulis (L.) L. (Primulaceae). For the very first time in a sample of natural origin, the presence of iso- and anteiso-VLC FABEs and 2-alkanones was unequivocally confirmed by synthetic work, derivatization, and NMR. It should be noted that the studied species produced unusually high amounts of branched wax constituents (e. g., >50 % of 2-alkanones were branched isomers). The domination of iso-isomers, probably biosynthesized from leucine-derived starters, is a unique feature in the Plant Kingdom. The plant organ distribution of these VLC compounds in P. acaulis samples (different habitats and phenological phases) pointed to their possible ecological value. This was supported by a eutectic behavior of binary blends of FABEs and alkanes, as well as by high UV-C absorption by FABEs.

Fatty acid esters of aromatic alcohols and their use in cosmetic formulations

The present invention relates to compounds according to the structure: Wherein R1is a C11to C21saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched hydrocarbon or a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon containing a pendant hydroxyl group, preferably on a carbon atom in a position alpha or beta to the keto group of the ester moiety; X is CH2, OCH2CH2or HC═CHCH2; and R2is H, OCH3, CH3or CH2CH3. These compounds exhibit use in personal care products as dry emollients as well as providing additional characteristics including solvency, dispersants, gloss-enhancing agents, solubilizing agents and melting-point depressants, lubricants, viscosity modulating agents and skin protection factor boosters.
