Analysis by GC-MS of the methanolysate showed suberin monomers, including glycerol and long-chain α,?-diacids and ?-hydroxyacids. ESI-MS analysis of the methanolysate showed, besides the aliphatic monomers, suberin oligomers, including linear dimeric esters of α,?-diacids and ?-hydroxyacids. Two types of dimeric esters were identified:? a α,?-diacid linked to a ?-hydroxyacid and two inter-linked ?-hydroxyacids. The α,?-diacids and ?-hydroxyacids found as monomer residues in the dimeric esters were mainly the C18 monomers with midchain substituents. The identification of these dimeric esters was based in their CID-MS/MS spectra and confirmed after synthesis of model compounds. The occurrence of inter-esterified long-chain monomers in suberin brings a new insight in the understanding of the polyester structure of this biopolymer.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16768426</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">From Duplicate 1 (Linear Aliphatic Dimeric Esters from Cork Suberin - Graça, José; Santos, Sara)</style></notes><research-notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">From Duplicate 1 (Linear Aliphatic Dimeric Esters from Cork Suberin - Graça, José; Santos, Sara)</style></research-notes></record></records></xml>
