Abstract

Mercaptoalcohols and mercaptoketones have been described in the past decade as relevant character-impact compounds in various food products. On the other hand, very little is known of mercaptoaldehydes. Only 3-mercapto-2-methylpentanal and 3-mercaptohexanal have been found in onions and beef liver, respectively. The aim of this work was to synthesize 13 mercaptoaldehydes not commercially available by combinatorial chemistry. ...
