Alkaloids from Stems of Ervatamia yunnanensis （Ⅱ）

Six indole alkaloids were isolated from the stems of Ervatamia yunnanensis. Among them, 10-hydroxy-19, 20-dihydroisositsirikine （I） is new. The other five are known alkaloids, namely： matrine （Ⅱ）, 19, 20-dihydroisositsirikine （Ⅲ）, 19-s-voacangarine （Ⅳ）, 1 l＇-methoxyl-19s- heyneanine （Ⅴ）, conodurine （Ⅵ）. The structural elucidation of the alkaloids was based on spectral means.     

Alkaloids of Delphinium poltoratskii

Roots ofDelphinium poltoratskiiyield the known alkaloids methyllycaconitine, lycoctonine, anthranoyllycoctonine, ajacine, karacoline, and a new alkaloid delpoline, the structure of which was proved by spectral data and a direct correlation with karacoline. It has been found that the roots and the aerial part of the plant can provide raw material for the production of methyllycaconitine.     

Cimicifine A: A Novel Triterpene Alkaloid from the Rhizomes of Cimicifuga foetida

Cimicifine A ( 1 ), the first cycloartane triterpene alkaloid, was isolated from the rhizomes of Cimicifuga foetida, together with the known compound cimicifugoside H‐1 ( 2 ). Their chemical structures were established by extensive NMR and MS analyses and by comparison with literature.     

Flabelliformides A and B,Two Novel Indole Alkaloids from Ervatamia flabelliformis

Flabelliformides A ( 1 ) and B ( 2 ), containing a novel C₂₀ indole core, have been isolated from the stems of Ervatamia flabelliformis. The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated on the basis of spectral analysis and X‐ray crystallography.     

苦参生物成碱的二维核磁共振谱(2D-NMR)研究Ⅰ.中国东北产苦参中的N-甲基金雀儿碱与氧化槐根碱的2D-NMR研究

由我国东北产的苦参中分离出七种生物碱。由MS、IR及2D-NMR鉴定为:(+)-苦参碱、(+)-氧化苦参碱、5α-羟基苦参碱、N-甲基金雀儿碱、9α-羟基苦参碱及氧化槐根碱。另一个生物碱(6)的化学结构尚在鉴定之中。本课题采用了二种2D-NMR技术,H-H相关谱(300、400及500MHz)及C-H相关谱(H:300MHz;C:75MHz)。先发表其中两个生物碱的2D-NMR,其它将陆续发表。     

Synthesis of (+)-(1R,2S,9S,9aR)-octahydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepine-1,2,9-triol: a potential glycosidase inhibitor

The title compound was prepared as a potential glycosidase inhibitor. Key steps in the synthesis are vinyl epoxide aminolysis, ring-closing metathesis, cis-dihydroxylation and then ring closure.     

Syntheses of the antibiotic alkaloids renierone, mimocin, renierol, renierol acetate, renierol propionate, and 7-methoxy-1,6-dimethylisoquinoline-5,8-dione

The total synthesis of renierone, mimocin, renierol, renierol acetate, renierol propionate, and 7-methoxy-1,6-dimethylisoquinoline-5,8-dione was successfully achieved by the regioselective oxidation of 5-oxygenated isoquinoline. The synthetic method of the 5-oxygenated isoquinoline is based on the thermal electrocyclic reaction of 1-azahexatriene system involving the benzene 1,2-bond.     

The First Total Synthesis of 16-Hydroxygeranylgeraniol

Facile synthesis of 16-hydroxygeranylgeranio 1,a naturally occurring alicyclic diterpene,by alkylation reaction of allylic iodide 3 with phenyl sulfone 4,is described.     

Concise Synthesis of Both Enantiomers of Pilocarpine

Furan-2-carboxylic acid was used as a starting material for the synthesis of dehydro-homopilopic acid. Esterification, hydrogenation and enzymatic hydrolysis followed by the reduction of Weinreb amides and a single-step attachment of a 1-methyl-imidazole residue allowed for the concise synthesis of both enantiomers of pilocarpine.
