Phenolic Compounds of Plants of the Scutellaria L. Genus. Distribution, Structure, and Properties

Information on flavones, flavanones, flavanonols, flavonols, chalcones, isoflavones, biflavonoids, lignoflavonoids, and lignane glycosides and stilbenes isolated from plants of the Scutellaria L. genus was systematized and reviewed. A list of 208 phenolic compounds was given according to flavonoid type with an indication of the plant sources, structures, and physicochemical properties and citations of the original articles.     

The investigation of natural compounds by HPLC. III. A study of sesquiterpene lactones of the guaiane type by microcolumn HPLC

Two comparable methods of microcolumn high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) have been developed for the sesquiterpene lactones leucomicin, matricarin, austricin, and anhydroaustricin and for the drug isolated from the epigeal part ofArtemisia leucodes.     

13C NMR spectra of some coumarins of Haplophyllum obtusifolium

Coumaris ofHaplophyllum obtusifolium Ledeb. — obtusinin, capensin, and fraxetin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside — have been investigated by¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Several distinctive features of their NMR spectra have been observed. A complete assignment of the¹³C NMR spectra of these coumarins has been made and their structures have been confirmed.     

Structure of fertenin

Summary The roots ofFerula tenuisecta have yielded a new ester C₂₂H₃₀O₅, mp 209–211°C, [] _D ²² +125° (c 0.8; ethanol), which has been called fertenin. On the basis of chemical transformations and spectral characteristics, a structure has been proposed for it as the 8-p-hydroxy-benzoate of fertenol — 9-epoxygermacr-5-ene-4,8-diol.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

The stereochemistry1 of terpenoid coumarins

Summary A transition has been effected between three series of terpenoid coumarins. A method has been proposed for establishing the type of linkage of the rings of coumarins with the bicyclofarnesyl residue according to the sign of the rotation of the compound concerned.Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 707–712, November–December, 1978. Original article submitted April 26, 1978.     

Structures of daurosides A and B — New acylated coumarin glycosides fromHaplophyllum dauricum

From the roots and epigeal parts ofHaplophyllum dauricum (L.) G. Don., new acylated courmarin glycosides have been isolated: dauroside A, C₂₃H₂₈O₁₃, mp 145–147°C (ethanol), [] _D ²² – 72.7° (methanol), and dauroside B, C₃₀H₃₂O₁₄, mp 145–150°C (methanol) [] _D ²² 0° (pyridine). Their structures have been established on the basis of chemical transformations and IR, UV, mass,¹H NMR and¹³C NMR spectra.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

Esters of Ferula karakalensis. Structure and stereochemistry of karaferin and karaferinin

Two new guaiane esters — karaferin and karaferinin — have been isolated fromFerula karakalensis, and their structures and stereochemistry have been established. It has been shown that theFerula sesquiterpene alcohols angrendiol, ugamdiol, and karaferol are biogenetically interconnected and are products of a single chain of the biogenesis of terpenoids in plants.Institute of Chemistry of Plant Substances, Uzbekistan Republic Academy of Sciences, Tashkent; Botanical Garden of Moscow State University.

Structure and stereochemistry of fertidin

The new ester, fertidin, has been isolated from the phenolic fraction ofFerula tenuisecta, and on the basis of chemical transformations and spectral characteristics its structure and stereochemistry have been established as 10-angeloyloxy-4-hydroxy-6-p-hydroxybenzoyloxycarot-(9)-ene.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Uzbek., Academy of Sciences, Tashkent.
