Triterpene Glycosides of Astragalus and Their Genins. LXX. Orbicoside, the First Lanostane Glycoside from Astragalus Plants

Orbicoside, a new lanostane glycoside and the first from plants of the Astragalus genus, was isolated from the aerial organs of Astragalus orbiculatus Ledeb. (Leguminosae). It has the structure 23,24-lanost-9(11)-en- 3,7,16,19,23,24,25-heptaol 3-O--D-xylopyranoside. The structure of orbicoside was established using PMR and ¹³C NMR, which were interpreted using DEPT and 2D NMR spectroscopies ¹H-¹H COSY, HSQC, and HMBC.     

Properties of pentasil-containing catalysts in hydrocarbon conversions. 7. Benzene alkylation by lower alkanes in the presence of modified zeolites

A novel catalytic synthesis of alkylaromatic hydrocarbons (AArH) containing C₇-C₈ has been achieved using C₂-C₄, alkanes as alkylating reagents on high silica zeolites of the pentasil type. It has been established that the yield of AArH during the reaction between benzene and alkanes varies in the order C₂H₆3H₈C₄C₁₀ (450–600°C). Modification of the zeolite by additions of Pt, Zn, and Ga results in a lowering of the reaction temperature (by 100°C) and alters the selectivity of the alkylation process. On passing from flow to static conditions and raising the pressure to 2–4 MPa the AArH yield doubles and reaches 70–75% in the case of C₃-C₄ hydrocarbons.For previous communication, see [1].Deceased.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2228–2232, October, 1991.     

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.Leningrad Sanitary-Hygienic Medical Institute.
