A revision of the positive sign of the optical rotation and its maximum value of α-eudesmol
摘要:
The ether extract of the liverwort Porella perrottetiana afforded (-)-alpha-eudesmol, which showed an opposite sign of the optical rotation to that found in higher plants. Present work on the absolute configuration and an optical purity of (-)-alpha-eudesmol strongly suggested that the positive values (e.g. + 28.5 degrees) described in many previous papers should be revised. Since the absolute configuration of (-)-alpha-eudesmol was identical to that of (+)-beta-eudesmol found in the higher plants, it was apparent that the expression of the positive sign might be revised to (-)-alpha-eudesmol. The optical purity, reconfirmation of the absolute configuration and synthesis of (-)-alpha-eudesmol will be discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
sesquiterpenic furanoids of the selinane group have been isolated from agarwood oil, obtained from the fungus infected plant Aquillaria agallocha Roxb. and their structures and absoluteconfigurations determined (XXII, XX, XXXI) by degradative studies and physical measurements.
N-lithio-ethylenediamine as an isomerizing and dehydrogenating reagent has been further extended. It is useful for partial aromatization of cadinenic terpenes and for conversion of selenenic compounds to heteroannular diene, optical rotation of which throws light on the absolute configuration of the parent compound. It is also useful for smooth isomerization of fatty acid.

The essential oil of the liverwortPlagiochila asplenioides from two different locations in Northern Germany were investigated by chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. Seven compounds were isolated by preparative gas chromatography (GC) and their structures investigated by mass spectrometry (MS), NMR techniques and chemical correlations in combination with enantioselective GC. In addition to known

Biogenetically patterned transformation of eudesmanolide to eremophilanolide. I. Angular methyl migration of 5.ALPHA.,6.ALPHA.-epoxy-dihydroalantolactone.
As a continuation of our study on the biogenetically patterned transformation leading to the natural terpenoids, conversion of an eudesmanolide directing to the related eremophilanolide was investigated and the object was accomplished. After several attempts, treatment of 5α, 6α-epoxy-dihydroalantolactone (15) with HCOOH-acetone (1 : 2) at reflux was found to afford eight products (A-H). Among them, two major products (products A and B) and one minor product (product D), which were obtained in a combined yield of 46%, were elucidated to be the desired eremophilanolides (17, 18, and 23) on the basis of the physicochemical evidence and the chemical conversion of 23 to tetrahydroligularenolide (34). The structure of the product C was assigned 20 on the basis of its physical properties and the chemical derivation. Afterwards, a better reaction condition transforming 15 to give 17 and 18 in a combined 68% yield was found.

The essential oil of the liverwortScapaniaundulata, collected in the Harz mountains, Northern Germany, was analysed by gas chromatography (GC), GC-mass spectrometry (MS) and several new components were isolated and investigated by various NMR techniques. As new natural compounds the sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (+)-helminthogermacrene (1) [the 4Z-isomer of germacrene A (9)], (-)-cis-beta-elemene (2)
