Enantiomer of micranthoside

A dihydroflavonol glycoside called neomicranthoside was isolated from Eupatorium micranthum introduced into Georgia. It was established using chemical and spectral data that it was an enantiomer of micranthoside, the structure of which has been previously established. Both glycosides are enantiomers of a trans-type dihydroflavonol glucoside with 2R,3R-and 2S,3S-configurations, respectively. __________ Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 339–340, July–August, 2006.

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of iridoid glycosides in the flower buds of Lonicera species by capillary high performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometric detector

A highly sensitive and specific method, based on capillary high performances liquid chromatography coupled with single quadrupole mass spectrometry using electrospray ionization (capillary HPLC-ESI/MS), is proposed for the identification and quantification of iridoid glycosides in the flower buds of five Lonicera species. A Zorbax SB-C18 (0.3 mm × 150 mm, 5 μm) capillary column and a gradient elution with methanol-acetonitrile-aqueous acetate acid were utilized. The most intensive electrospray ionisation signals were found in the negative ion spectra owing to CH₃COO⁻ adducts. Eight iridoid glycosides derived from the flower buds of Lonicera species were analyzed by mass spectrometry: sweroside (IG1), 7-O-ethyl sweroside (IG2), 7-epi vogeloside (IG3), secoxyloganin (IG4), secoxyloganin 7-butyl ester (IG5), dimethyl-secologanoside (IG6), centauroside (IG7), and loganin (IG8) using combined information on retention time, the molecular ion mass and fragment ion masses. Detection limits were lower than 1.9 ng/mL in selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode and all calibration curves showed good linear regression (r² > 0.9938) within test ranges. The validated method was successfully applied to analyze eight iridoid glycosides in the flower buds of five Lonicera species and provided a new basis of assessment on quality of Flos Lonicerae.     

2-位氧化糖羰基转位反应的研究

α-甲基－D－葡萄糖苷的2－位羰基衍生物（简称为2－位氧化糖）,不仅在生物体糖代谢过程中起着关键作用,而且由于其自身多个手性中心及高活性羰基的存在,使之成为有机合成中的一种重要手性源,我们在前期的研究中发现,2－位氧化糖的羰基比其它位置氧化的葡萄糖苷具有更高的活性：在D2O中,2－位氧化糖的羰基100％以事形式存在,而3－位氧化糖则100％地以羰基形式存在,4－位氧化糖仅有25％以水合形式存在。因此,2－位氧化糖羰基反应活性的研究在不对称合成中有着重要意义。长期以来此方面的研究主要集中的2－位羰基及其邻位的烷基化,关于其氨基化反应鲜有报道。Tsuda等在合成Nojirimicin的过程中报道了羟胺与2－位氧化糖缩合成肟的反应,我们选择了芳胺与2－位氧化糖的反应进行研究,通过对邻苯二胺与2－位氧化糖反应所形成中间产物的^1H NMR谱变化的跟踪,并选用其它芳胺进行验证,发现芳胺类化合物在与2－位氧化糖反应时,并未生成C＝N双键,而是生成了羰基转化到3－位的加成产物。2－位氧化糖芳胺亲核加成引起羰基转位反应式如Scheme 1所示。     

气相色谱-质谱法研究香叶基-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖苷的热裂解行为

为了研究香叶醇的糖苷类香料前体香叶基-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖苷的热裂解行为,在200,300,400 ℃条件下,分别采用 在线模式的裂解仪无氧裂解和离线模式的高温熔盐加热裂解,热解产生的物质均经毛细管气相色谱-质谱仪进行定性和定 量检测。根据实验结果,对香叶基-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖苷的裂解机理进行了初步探讨。实验发现,香叶基-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖 苷在200 ℃条件下裂解量很少;300 ℃条件下裂解产生大量香叶醇,而其他杂质较少;随着温度的升高,400 ℃条件下裂解 产生的副产物明显增加。实验结果表明以300 ℃条件下裂解效果最好。同时,香叶基-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖苷热裂解产生了特 征香味成分香叶醇,其裂解的基本反应是O-糖苷键的断裂。在试验的两种方法中,在线裂解模式实验方法先进,定性直接, 结果准确;离线裂解模式实验方法操作方便,简单易行,而且在定性基础上可以实现定量分析。
