Triterpene glycosides ofSilphium perfoliatum. IV. Structure of siliphioside C

The epigeal part ofSilphium perfoliatum has a yielded a new triterpene glycoside, silphioside C — C₅₀H₈₀O₁₉, mp 207–210°C (from aqueous methanol), []_D ²⁵ +19.3 ± 2°C (c 0.88; methanol). On the basis of acid hydrolysis, mild alkaline saponification, and the results of GLC and of IR, mass, and¹H and¹³C spectroscopy the structure of silphioside C had been established as 28--D-glucopyranosyl 3-O-[O--D-glucopyranosyl-(12)-(6-O-acetyl--D-glucopyranosyl)oleanolate.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

Structure of korselimine

The new base korselidine with mp 272–274°C (methanol), []_D-75°, C₂₇H₄₃NO₂ (I), (ethanol), composition C₂₇H₄₃NO₂, has been isolated from the total alkaloids of the epigeal part ofKorolkowia sewerzowii Regel. As a result of the study of the chemical properties of the alkaloid itself and of its products of its transformation, the structure and partial configuration of korselamine have been established as (1,3,-dihydroxy-^8,14)-cevanene.Institute of Plant Substances, Uzbek SSR Academy of Sciences, Tashkent.

Molecular and crystal structure of sophoridine

The three-dimensional structure of the alkaloid sophoridine C₁₅H₂₄ON₂ has been studied by x-ray structural analysis; the parameters of the elementary cell are: a=5.458, b=10.640, c=11.989 Å; =99.7°; z=2; space group P2₂. The experimental set was obtained on a Sinteks-P2₁ diffractometer, the structure being determined by the direct method with refinement by the method of least squares in the anisotropic approximation taking the hydrogen atoms into account to R=0.059. Ring A has the chair conformation, rings B and C the boat conformation, and ring D the half-chair conformation. The linkages of rings A/B, B/C, and C/D are trans, and of B/C cis. There are no shortened intermolecular contacts in the crystal structure of the compound.Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

A new guaianolide — Opoferzin from the roots of Ferula oopoda

A new guaianolide with the composition C₂₀H₂₂O₅, mp 150–152°C, has been isolated from the resin of the roots ofFerula oopoda, (Boiss. et Buhse) Boiss. It has been established that it corresponds to the structure of 11-angeloyloxy-2-oxo-5H, 6H-guaia-1(10), 3,7-trien-6,12-olide.V. L.
