Chirality of 2-(4-Methoxyphenoxy) propanoic acid in roasted coffee beans: analysis of the methyl esters by chiral high-performance liquid chromatography

Methyl 2-(4-methoxyphenoxy) propanoate, previously shown to be present in methylated aqueous extracts of roasted Colombian Arabica coffee beans, was purified by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a Chromspher C18 column (250 x 4.6 mm). The purified extract was analyzed by chiral HPLC with a Chiralcel OK column (250 x 4.6 mm), which provided excellent separation of the two enantiomers of the ester. The methyl 2-(4-methoxyphenoxy) propanoate in the methylated coffee extract was shown to be composed of predominantly (80 percent) the (S)-(-) enantiomer
