Syntheses of all-methylated ellagitannin, isorugosin B and rugosin B
摘要:
Ellagitannins possess a wide range of biological activities and remarkable structural diversity, which commonly include an axially chiral biaryl unit. This paper describes syntheses of all-methylated versions of isorugosin B and rugosin B, which are regioisomeric, ellagitannin-related compounds. The key features of these syntheses involve the construction of an axially chiral biaryl function on a sugar moiety through a Pd-catalyzed intramolecular biaryl coupling reaction, Bringmann's atroposelective lactone opening reaction, and a two-step ester formation. This is the first synthetic approach for generating ellagitannins featuring a valoneoyl group. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Camelliin B and nobotanin I, dimeric hydrolyzable tannins of a new class having macrocyclicstructures, were isolated from Camellia japonica and Heterocentron roseum, respectively. Nobotanin G and H of the structures related to nobotanin I, were also obtained from H. roseum. Camelliin B and also woodfordin C, a macrocyclic dimer from Woodfordia fruticosa, exhibited marked host-mediated antitumor activities
All-methylated isorugosin B was synthesized via two-step esterification between optically active valoneic acid and glucose derivatives.

Tannins of theaceous plants. II. Camelliins A and B, two new dimeric hydrolyzable tannins from flower buds of Camellia japonica L. and Camellia sasanqua Thunb.
Two new dimeric hydrolyzable tannins, camelliins A and B, which exist as equilibrium mixtures of anomers, have been isolated from flower buds of Camellia japonica L., and their structures were elucidated. Camelliin B belongs to a unique class of dimers having a macrocyclic structure. The flower of Camellia sasanqua THUNB. yielded five tannins which were identical with those of C. japonica.
