Two New Diterpene Alkaloids from the Roots of Spiraea japonica var. Acuta

Spiraea japonica L. (Rosaceae) is widely distributed in Yunnan Provence, P. R. China. Previous chemical investigations on S. japonica and its varieties have led to the report of 7 new atisane-type diterpenoids and 38 new diterpene alkaloids of atisine- and hetisine-type1-11. This paper describes the isolation and structure elucidation of two new diterpene alkaloids named spiratines A and B (1-2). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR experiments (HMQC, HMBC, 1…     

Study on Phase Equilibrium Properties for CO_(2+) Cosolvent Binary Systems

Recently, the application of supercritical fluid technology is very interested, and it is applied in many areas for its special properties. The performance of supercritical fluid (SCF) as a solvent can be greatly affected by addition of an entrainer to the system. An entrainer can be added to a supercritical fluid to enhance its solvent strength and/or selectivity. Critical point data for these dilute supercritical fluid-cosolvent systems are imperative for the design of efficient separation …     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 1,2,4,6-Tetraphenyl-2-hydroxy-8-azabicycle[3,2,1]octane

1 INTRODUCTIONAtrope alkaloids, which exist in eggplant plants, such as atrope and scopolamine, are used as a series of important drugs in medical science [1,2]. The typical character of atrope alkaloid is that these compounds contain the main skeleton of 8-azabicycle[3,2,1]octane , which results in the very complicated synthetic routine[3]. During our research for the reaction of 1,3,5,7-tetraphenyl-4- nitro-1,7-heptadione with low-valent titanium reagent, we easily synthesized the title …     

Two-Parameter Stochastic Resonance in a Model of Electrodissolution of Fe in H_2SO_4

IntroductionStochastic resonance (SR) is a nonlinear effect which describes the optimal detection of a weak periodic signal by the action of external noise in nonlinear systems. SR was originally proposed to account for periodicity in the Earth's ice ages1, and it has been observed in a wide range of biological2-4 , physical5 and chemical6 systems. The systems mentioned above which may give rise to SR have a denominator despite many examples of SR in different scientific areas. It is noted…     

Synthesis of Novel Chiral Diol Ligands for the Enantioselective Reactions

The chiral diols ((,(,((,((-Tetraaryl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanols) have been used for the formation of cyclic titanates and similar derivatives of Mg, Al and Zr. These complexes of oxophilic metal centers were employed in catalytic and stiochiometric enantioselective reactions such as enantioselective addition reactions of carbon-centered nucleophiles to aldehydes1, [2+2] cycloadditions2, and Diels-Alder reactions3. So far, the two hydrogen atoms of all this type of diols are in trans form…     

Crystal and Molecular Structure of N-(1-Ethoxycarbonyl- ethyl)1-Ethoxycarbonylmethyl-3-ethyl-1,2,3,4- tetrahydro-4-oxo-1,3,2-benzodiazaphosphorin- 2-carboxamide 2-Oxide

1 INTRODUCTIONOrganophosphorus compounds are ubiquitous in nature and they have broad applications in the fields of agriculture and medicine. During the past two decades, (-ketophosphonates and their derivatives have attracted considerable attention because these compounds are endowed with special physical, chemical and pharmacological properties due to the proximity of the carbonyl and the phosphoryl groups[1～6]. For example, it is well known that phosphonoformic acid (PFA) is effectiv…     

First Total Synthesis of 5_α-Hydroxy-isopterocarpolone

Sesquiterpenic compounds of the Eudesmane family have attracted considerable attention due to their intriguing biological properties1,2, particularly significant antifeedant activity, cell growth inhibitory and plant growth regulating activities.In 1996, J. Hu and co-workers3 had isolated eudesmane sesquiterpene 5?-hydroxy-isopterocarpolone 1 from the aerial parts of chinese folk medicine Artemisia eriopoda and elucidated its structure by spectropic methods. Herein, we reported the first tota…     

Two New Steroidal Saponins from Diuranthera inarticulata

There are only three species in the genus Diuranthera (Liliaceae), which is endemic in the southwest of China1. Four steroidal saponins, diuranthosides A-C and chloromalo-side A were isolated from the fresh roots of D. major. This paper deals with the structure elucidation of two new steroidal saponins, diuranthosides D and E, which were isolated from the methanolic extract of whole plant of D. inarticulata Wang et K. Y. Lang.Diuranthoside D (1), [(]-38 (c 0.08, pyridine), afforded galac…
