ChEBI: (6Z)-nerolidol is a nerolidol in which the double bond at position 6 adopts a cis-configuration.

Purification Methods

1 2 2o/3mm, d 4 0.73, n D 1.477, [cis 3790-78-1] b 70o/0.1mm, [trans 40716-66-3] b 78o/0.2mm, 145-146o/2mm. Purify it by TLC on plates of Kieselguhr G [McSweeney J Chromatogr 17 183 1965] or silica gel impregnated with AgNO3, using 1,2-CH2Cl2/CHCl3/EtOAc/PrOH (10:10:1:1) as solvent system. Also by GLC on butanediol succinate (20%) on Chromosorb W. Stored it under N2 at ~5o in the dark. [Beilstein 1 IV 2336.]
