New sesquiterpenes fromMaytenus species (Celastraceae). Taxonomic and chemotaxonomic considerations concerning chileanMaytenus
摘要:
Three new dihydro-beta-agarofuran sesquiterpenes from two species of Maytenus were isolated and their structures were elucidated by means of H-1 and C-13 NMR studies. The differences and similarities noted in the chemical content of the dihydro-beta-agarofuran sesquiterpenes from the four Maytenus species from Chile are in line with the taxonomic characterization of these species; their geographical distribution is also given.
