Moisture Property and Thermal Behavior of Two Novel Synthesized Polyol Pyrrole Esters in Tobacco.

ABSTRACT: To overcome the shortcomings of high relative humidity and harmful oxidation products from traditional humectants, excellent humectants and flavor precursors were reported herein. Glucosamine hydrochloride was used as the starting material for the cyclization, oxidation, and alkylation processes that produced pyrrole acid. Then, esterification occurred with polyol catalyzed by EDC and DMAP to give the target compounds 2-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl) 4-methyl 5-methyl-1-propyl-1H-pyrrole-2,4-dicarboxylate (Gpe) and (2-hydroxypropyl) 4-methyl 5-methyl-1-propyl-1H-pyrrole-2,4-dicarboxylate (Ppe). Nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and high-resolution mass recorded spectrometry (HRMS) were used to confirm the two novel polyol p
