Conclusions The stirred reaction of graphite with molten lithium gave compounds of composition C₆Li, C₁₂Li, and C₁₈Li, for which the identity periods and thicknesses of the filled layers were determined.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 671–672, March, 1979.     

Astragalus triterpene glycosides and their genins. I. Structures of cycloalpigenin and cycloalpioside

Another two methylsteroids of the cycloartane series have been isolated from the epigeal part ofAstragalus alopecurus. The structures of the compounds isolated, cycloalpigenin and cycloalpioside, have been established as (20R,24R)-16,24:20, 24-diepoxycycloartane-3,7,25-triol and (20R,24R)-16, 24:20,24-diepoxycycloartane-3,7, 25-triol 3-O--D-xylopyranoside, respectively, on the basis of chemical transformations and spectral characteristics. The structure of cycloalpigenin has been confirmed by chemical correlation with that of cycloalpigenin D.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Tashkent, fax (3712) 89 14 75.

Triterpene glycosides and their genins fromThalictrum foetidum. I. The structure of foetoside C

A new glycoside — foetoside C — has been isolated from the epigeal part ofThalictrum foetidum L. and, on the basis of chemical transformations and spectral characteristics its structure has been established as oleanolic acid 28-[O-α-D-glycopyranosyl-(1 → 6)-O-β-D-glucopyranoside] 3-O-[O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-α-L-arabinopyranoside].     

Triterpene Glycosides of Astragalus and Their Genins. LXVIII. Cycloorbigenin C, a New Cycloartane Genin

The new triterpenoid cycloartane cycloorbigenin C, the structure of which is 23ξ,24ξ-cycloartan-3β,6α,16β,23,24,25-hexaol, was obtained from the aerial part of Astragalus orbiculatus Ledeb. (Leguminosae). The structure of cycloorbigenin C was proved using chemical transformations, IR spectroscopy, electron-impact mass spectrometry, and PMR and ¹³C NMR spectra interpreted using J-modulation and the 2D NMR spectroscopies: ¹H-¹H COSY, TOCSY, ROESY, HSQC, and HMBC.
