Baker＇s Yeast Mediated Reduction of Optically Active Diketone

Baker‘s yeast mediated reduction of optically active diketone is described. The two keto groups are efficiently differentiated and the ee value of the recovered material is considerably raised. It affords highly optically active key intermediates efficiently for the synthesis of natural polyhydroxylated agarofuran products.

Sesquiterpenoids from Chloranthus spicatus （Thunb.） Makino

Two new sesquiterpenoids, namely 1β,4β-dihydroxy-5 α,8β（H）-eudesm-7（11）Z-en-8,12-olide （1） and 1β,4α-dihydroxy-5α,8β（H）-eudesm-7（11）Z-en-8,12-olide （2）, along with six known ones, homalomenol A （3）, oplodiol （4）, 5α,7α（H）-6,8-cycloeudesma-1β,4β-diol （5）, oplopanone （6）, 4β,10α-dihydroxyaromadendrane （7） and spathulenol （8）, were isolated from the aerial part of Chloranthus spicatus （Thunb.） Makino, and their structures were established by spectroscopic methods.     

First total synthesis of a new sesquiterpenoid natural product, (±)-3-(2,4-dihydroxybenzoyl)-4,5-dimethyl-5-(4,8-dimethyl-3(E),7(E)-nonadien-1-yl)tetrahydro-2-furanone

An efficient and stereodefined process is described for the first preparation of a new prenyl-benzoylfuranone type sesquiterpenoid, (±)-3-(2,4-dihydroxybenzoyl)-4,5-dimethyl-5-(4,8-dimethyl-3(E),7(E)-nonadien-1-yl)tetrahydro-2-furanone. The synthetic strategy is based on nucleophilic addition of organometallic reagents to the functionalized ketoamides elaborated from dihydroxyacetone dimer for the stereoselective construction of the key quaternary carbon center in the target compound.     

Microporotriol,a new cadinane-type sesquiterpenoid from the cultures of the wood-decay fungus Microporus affinis HFG829

Abstract

A new cadinane-type sesquiterpenoid, microporotriol (1), together with four known compound, 5-methylresorcinol (2), (22E,24R)-ergosta-4,6,8(14),22-tetraen-3-one (3), (22E,24R)-ergosta-5,7,22-trien-3β-ol (4), (22E,24R)-5α,8α-epidioxy-ergosta-6,22-dien-3β-ol (5), were isolated from the fermentation broth of the wood decaying fungus Microporus affinis HFG829. The structures of the compounds were established by extensive spectroscopic methods, including 1D & 2D NMR, along with HRMS spectroscopic analysis. The relative configuration of 1 was confirmed by NMR calculation. Compound 1 was evaluated for the cytotoxicity against five human cancer cell lines.     

New Sesquiterpenoids from Hedychium yunnanense gagnep

Hedychium yunnannense Gagnep is the unique species of Zingiberaceae occurring only in Yunnan province of China and its wild resource is very abundant. Several sesquiterpenoids and diterpenoids from the petroleum ether fraction of the ethanol extract of the plant have been reported1, 2 by Zhao Qing et al. Some of them show antioxidant and cytotoxic activities. In order to use the wild plant resources efficiently, we made further systematic investigations on the chemical constituents of the rh…     

Guaiane-type sesquiterpenoid glucosides from Gardenia jasminoides Ellis

Two new guaiane-type sesquiterpenoid glucosides (1 and 2) were isolated from the fruit of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis. Their structures were elucidated to be (1R,7R,10S)-11-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-4-guaien-3-one (1) and (1R,7R,10S)-7-hydroxy-11-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-4-guaien-3-one (2) by one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques ((1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, HSQC, HMBC and NOESY), MS, CD spectrometry and chemical methods.
