(+)-Episesaminone, a Sesamum indicum Furofuran Lignan. Isolation and Hemisynthesis
摘要:
Several lignans from Sesamum sp. contain an unusual oxygen insertion between their furano and aromatic rings. As part of our ongoing studies to clarify the biosynthetic pathway to the sesame lignans, the furanoketone, (+)-episesaminone, was isolated and fully characterized in part via hemisynthesis from (+)-sesamolin.

The furofuran lignans in sesame seed have an unusual oxygen insertion between their furan and aryl rings. In our continuing investigations on the isolation and characterization of the enzyme(s) involved, the diastereoselective syntheses of various substrate analogues for the oxygen insertion step were developed for future substrate specificity and inhibitor studies. This synthetic strategy also provided
