Three hydroxy-1,8-cineole glucopyranosides, (1R,2R,4S)- and (1S,2S,4R)-trans-2-hydroxy-1,8-cineole β-D-glucopyranosides, and (1R,3S,4S)-trans-3-hydroxy-1,8-cineole β-D-glucopyranoside, which are possible precursors of acetoxy-1,8-cineoles as unique aroma components, were isolated from the rhizomes of greater galangal (Alpinia galanga W.). Their structures were analyzed by FAB-MS and NMR spectrometry, and the absolute configulation of each aglycone was determined by using a GC-MS analysis with a capillary column coated with a chiral stationary phase. The composition of the diastereomers of (1R,2R,4S)- and (1S,2S,4R)- trans-2-hydroxy-1,8-cineole β-D-glucopyranosides in the rhizomes was determined as 3:7 by a GC-MS analysis after preparing the trifluoroacetate derivatives of the glucosides.
