Phyllanemblinins A−F, New Ellagitannins from Phyllanthus emblica
摘要:
Six new ellagitannins, phyllanemblinins A-F (1-6), were isolated from Phyllanthus emblica, along with 30 known tannins and related compounds. Their structures were determined by spectral and chemical methods. Phyllanemblinins A (1) and B (2) were confirmed to be ellagitannins having a tetrahydroxybenzofuran dicarboxyl group and a hexahydroxydiphenoyl group, respectively, by chemical synthesis from furosin (8). Phyllanemblinin C (3) has a new acyl group at the glucose 2,4-positions and is structurally related to chebulagic acid. Phyllanemblinins D (4), E (5), and F 6) were found to be positional isomers of neochebuloyl 1(beta)-O-galloylglucose.
Tannins and Related Compounds. CXVIII. Structures, Preparation, High-Performance Liquid Chromatography and Some Reactions of Dehydroellagitannin-Acetone Condensates.
The dehydroellagitannins having a dehydrohexahydroxydiphenoyl ester group in the molecule were found to undergo highly regio- and stereospecific condensation with acetone in the presence of ammonium ion under almost neutral conditions. This reaction was successfully applied to high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis to detect the dehydroellagitannins in the plant extract. Furthermore, the reactions of the acetone condensates with L-cysteine methyl ester were examined, and appear to be applicable to structural studies of dehydroellagitannins.
