Natural (−)-7-methoxy-8-(β, γ-dihydroxyisopentyl)-coumarin

Chemistry of Natural Compounds - The roots ofPrangos ferulaceae (L.) Lindl. have yielded (?)-7-methoxy-8-(β, γ-dihydroxyisopentyl)-coumarin, composition C15H18O5, with mp 128°....     

Coumarins of three species of the genusHaplophyllum

The results are given of an investigation of three species of the genusHaplophyllum: H. villosum, H. kowalenskyi, andH. tenue, fromwhich five substances of coumarin nature have been isolated. Of them, two substances (I and II) have been identified as scopoletin and lomatin isovalerate, respectively, while suitable structures have been established for the new compounds tenuidin, villosin, and tenudiol. It has been shown that the coumarin composition of the plants changes with the growth site.     

Comparative characterization of the coumarin composition ofSeseli campestre growing in Moldavia and in the Caucasus

The results are given of the identification of (?)-trans-khellactone and its 4′-methyl ether and (?)-3′(S), 4′(S)-trans-3′-senecioyloxy-4′-angeloyloxy-3′,4′-dihydroseselin and of the establishment of the structure of three new khellactone derivatives — campestrol (VII), C₁₉H₂₂O₆, [α] _D ²⁰ + 32° (c 7.8; chloroform), campestrinol (X), C₂₄H₂₆O₇, mp 116–118°C, and campestrinoside (I), C₂₀H₂₄O₁₀, mp 172–173°C, [α]_D ?272.5° (c 4.7; ethanol). It has been shown on the basis of chemical and spectral characteristics that campesol, earlier described as a new substance, is a mixture of two isomeric compounds — 4′-hydroxy-3′-senecioyloxy-3′,4′-dihydroseselin and 3′-angeloyloxy-4′-hydroxy-3′,4′-dihydroseselin.     

Coumarins ofHaplophyllum ramosissimum

Summary 7-(3,3-Dimethylallyloxy)-6-methoxycoumarin and two new coumarins — ramosin and ramosinin — have been isolated from the epigeal part ofHaplophyllum ramosissimum.On the basis of IR, PMR, and mass spectroscopy and chemical reactions, the structure of 8-(3,3-dimethylallyl)-7-(3,3-dimethylallyloxy)coumarin (II) has been proposed for ramosin and that of 3-(1,1-dimethylallyl)-8-(3,3-dimethylallyl)-7-methoxycoumarin (III) for ramosinin.Leningrad Sanitary-Hygienic Medical Institute.
