Nitrosation of mefenorex in the presence of cyclodextrins

- and -Cyclodextrin (CD) and heptakis-2,6-di-O-methyl--cyclodextrin (DIMEB) form soluble inclusion compounds with mefenorex (MEF); with -CD a partial inclusion occurs. No solid inclusion compound could be obtained with the four CDs. -, -CD and DIMEB, but not -CD, enhance the nitrosation rate of MEF if the nitrosation assay procedure (NAP test) is applied. During this reaction with - and -CD, solid inclusion compounds of the CDs and nitrosomefenorex (NMEF) precipitate.Part of the Ph.D. thesis of V. Wedelich, Freie Universität Berlin, 1985.     

Steroid saponins and sapogenins ofAllium IX. The structure of aginoside

Summary From a methanolic extract of the skins of the bulbs ofAllium giganteum Rgl, a new steroid glycoside has been isolated — aginoside, which is (25R)-5-spirostan-2, 3, 6-triol 3-0-{[0--D-xylopyranosyl-(13)-]-[0--D-glucopyranosyl-(12)]-0--D-glucopyranosyl-(14)-0--D-galactopyranoside}.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

New polyhydroxysteroids from the far-eastern starfish Henricia sp.

From the far-eastern starfishHenricia sp. we have isolated and characterized the new polyhydroxysteroid (24S)-5-cholestane-3,4,6,8,15,24-hexaol and three new glycosides: (24S)-5-cholestane-3,4,6,8,15,24-hexaol 3-O-(2,4-di-O-methyl--D-xylopyranoside) (henricioside H₁), 24-methyl-5-cholesta-4,22E-diene-3,6,8,15,16,26-hexaol 3-O-(2,3-di-O-methyl--D-xylopyranoside) (henricioside H₂), and the 22,23-dihydro derivative of henricioside H₂ (henricioside H₃).Pacific Ocean Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Far-Eastern Scientific Center, Russian Academy of Sciences, Vladivostok.

Rearrangement ofα -trifluoromethyl-β-dialkylamino-β-fluoroacrylic acid N.N-dialkylamides

Conclusions When heated in the presence of a catalytic amount of BF₃ etherate,-trifluoromethyl--diethylamino--fluoroacrylic acid N, N-dimethylamide is reversibly isomerized to-trifluoromethyl--dimethylamino--fluoroacrylic acid N, N-diethylamide. The methyl esters of-trifluoromethyl--diethylammo--fluoroacrylic acid and-trifluoromethyl--phenoxy--fluoroacrylic acid N,N-dimethylamide are not isomerized under the same conditions.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No.1, pp.137–141, January, 1976.

Triterpene glycosides ofAstragalus and their genins. XV. Cyclosiversiosides B and D fromAstragalus basineri

Two new glycosides have been isolated from the roots of the plantAstragalus basineri Trautv. — cyclosiversiosides B and D. It has been shown that cyclosiversioside B is cyclosiversigenin 3-O-(2,3-di-O-acetyl--D-xylopyranoside)-6-O--D-glucopyranoside. Cyclosiversioside D is cyclosiversigenin 3-O-(2-O-acetyl--D-xylopyranoside)-6-O--D-glucopyranoside.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

Triterpene Glycosides of Fatsia japonica. VI. Structures of Glycosides D3a and D3b

Seeds of Fatsia japonica (Araliaceae) yielded the new glycosides of gypsogenin: 3-O--D-glucopyranosyl-(12)-O--D-glucopyranoside and 3-O--D-galactopyranosyl-(12)-O--D-glucopyranoside. The structures of these compounds were established by chemical methods and NMR spectroscopy.     

Triterpene glycosides from Pulsatilla chinensis

Four triterpene glycosides were isolated from the roots of Pulsatilla chinensis (Bunge) Regel (Ranunculaceae). Two new glycosides, chinensiosides A (1a) and B (2), were identified as 3-O-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)--L-arabinopyranosyl]-28-O-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(14)--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)--D-glucopyranosyl]-3,23-dihydroxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid and 3-O-{-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)-[-D-glucopyranosyl-(14)]--L-arabinopyranosyl}-28-O-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(14)--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)--D-glucopyranosyl]-3,23-dihydroxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid. The other two glycosides were identified as previously known hederasaponin C (3) from Hedera helix and glycoside III (4) from Pulsatilla cernua.     

Oligomeric proanthocyanidin glycosides ofRhodiola pamiroalaica. II

In a continuation of investigations of proanthocyanidins of the roots ofRhodiola pamiroalaica, we have isolated proanthocyanidins RP-3 and RP-4. Their compositions, structures, and relative configurations have been investigated: RP-3 is 7-O-(6-O-galloyl--D-Glcp)-3-O-galloyl-(-)-epigallocatechin-(4-8)-[(-)-epicatechin-(4-8)-(3-O-galloyl-(-)-epigallocatechin)]₂-(4-8)-[5-O-(-D-GlcpO--D-Glcp)-(+)-catechin], and RP-4 is 7-O-(6-O-galloyl--D-Glcp-3-O-galloyl-(-)-epigallocatechin-(4-8)-[3-O-galloyl-(-)-galloyl-5-(-D-GlcpO--D-Glcp)-(-)-epigallocatechinTranslated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 42–49, January–February, 1999.
