Ucriol, an epoxy-diterpene from Sideritis syriaca
Abstract The isolation of a new epoxy-diterpene from the inflorescence of Sideritis syriaca (S. sicula Ucria) is described. Its structure and stereochemistry were established by spectroscopy and partial synthesis.
Synthesis of Symmetrical 1,4-Diarylphthalazines
Abstract It is well known that 1, 4-diarylphthalazines are prepared by condensation of the appropriate ortho-diaroylbenzenes with hydrazine hydrate.1 As ortho-diaroylbenzenes can be obtained by oxidation of ortho-dibenzylbenzenes, a rapid method is proposed to obtain the ortho-dibenzylbenzenes (Ia) and (Ib) by reaction of the highly reactive2 veratrol with para-chloro- or ortho-chlorobenzyl alcohol in sulfuric acid. The products obtained gave by oxidation the ortho-diaroylbenzenes (IIa) and (IIb), which were transformed into the 1,4-diarylphthalazines (IVa) and (IVb) by treatment with hydrazine hydrate.
Addition reactions of heterocycles—IV
Abstract The reactivity of indole derivatives towards nitrilimines has been studied. Substituents at positions 1, 2 and 3 of the indole ring greatly affect the course of the reaction. 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition products (3a,8a,dihydropyrazole-[3,4-b]-indole derivatives) and non-cyclic addition products (3-indolyl derivatives) were obtained depending on these substituents. The structures reported were assigned on the basis of satisfactory analytical, spectroscopic and chemical data.
Coumarins from Seseli bocconi
Abstract A new khellactone, bocconin, in addition to known compounds, have been isolated from Seseli bocconi subsp. bocconi and subsp. praecox Gamisans . Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral analyses and hydrolytic studies.
Phytochemical Investigation of the Labiate Dorystoechas hastata
Abstract Carnosol (11,12-dihydroxyabieta-8,11,13-trien-20-oic acid 20,7-lactone), and rosmanol (7α, 11, 12-trihydroxy-abieta-8, 11, 13-trien-20 oic acid-20, 6-lactone), two abietane diterpenes previously isolated from Rosmarinus officinalis, have been isolated from leaves of Dorystoechas hastata. Luteolin, luteolin-7-glucoside, 6-methoxyluteolin-7-glucoside, caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid have also obtained from the same source. The co-occurrence of carnosol, rosmanol and 6-methoxyluteolin-7-glucoside support the close relationship of these two genera.
New diterpenes from Sideritis sicula
Abstract Two new diterpenes have been isolated from Sideritis sicula : sideripol, ent -18-acetoxy-7α-hydroxykaur-15-ene and epoxysideritriol, ent -15β,16β-epoxykauran-7α,17,18-triol. The previously known diterpene eubol, ent -7α-acetoxykaur-16-en-15β,18 diol has also been obtained from the same source.
