From the leaves of Flindersia bourjotinna F. Muell. there were isolated sitosterol, triacontanol, lupeol, germanicol, germanicone, and four new triterpenoids, the bourjotinolones A, B, and C, and bourjotone. By chemical degradation and spectroscopic methods, the structures of these substances were shown to be 21,24-epoxy-23,25-dihydroxytirucall-7-en-3one, 23,24-dihydroxytirucalla-7,25-dien- 3-one, 25-chloro-23,24-dihydroxytirucall-7-en-3-one, and 25,26,27-trisnortirucall-7- ene-3,23-dione, respectively. Bourjotinolone C is almost certainly an artefact but bourjotinolone B and bourjotone are less likely to be. From biogenetic and N.M.R. spectral considerations, the absolute stereochemistry of the new triterpenes may be deduced.

Two new chromenols, namely (R)-2-methyl-2-(4-methylpenta-1,3-dienyl)-2H-chromen-6-ol (7) and 1-[(R)-6-hydroxy-2-methyl-2H-chromen-2-yl]-4-methylpentan-2-one (8), have been isolated from a southern Australian tunicate, Aplidium solidum. The structures of (7) and (8) were assigned by spectroscopic analysis, and the absolute stereochemistry of (7) by chemical degradation.

Flavomannin 6,6′,8-tri-O-methyl ether occurs in the fruiting bodies of the Australian toadstool Dermocybe sp. WAT 24274 as an anisochiral mixture of the (3S,3′S,P)- and (3R,3′R,M)-enantiomers (5) and (7), respectively, in which the former predominates to the extent of 50% e.e. The structure of the natural product is determined by spectroscopic methods and the absolute configuration and enantiomeric purity are deduced from the c.d. spectrum and by chemical degradation of the natural product to a mixture of stereoisomeric dihydroanthracenones that has been analysed by chiral h.p.l.c.

Abstract Two novel resorcinol derivatives were isolated from the mycelium of Lasiodiplodia theobromae IFO 31059 as potato micro-tuber inducing compounds. Their structures were established by spectroscopic methods as ethyl (6′R)-2,4-dihydroxy-6-(6′-hydroxyheptyl)benzoate (8) and isobutyl (6′R)-2.4-dihydroxy-6-(6′-hydroxyheptyl)benzoate (9). The absolute stereochemistry of the asymmetric center of (8) was determined by an advanced Mosher method.

The structures of 12 new polyketide metabolites produced in liquid cultures of the fungus Arthropsistruncata have been determined by a combination of chemical and spectroscopic methods. Four of these metabolites possess an unusual 2-oxaspiro[4.5]decane skeleton, and the structure assigned to one of these metabolites 20 has been confirmed by an X-ray crystallographic study of the dibenzoyl derivative 21. The absolute stereochemistry of these compounds has been predicted by application of the Harada–Nakanishi dibenzoate rule to arthropsolide D tribenzoate (32).

The 8aR absolute stereochemistry of Wieland-Miescher ketone (-)-I was established by the X-ray structure analysis of its bis(4-bromobenzoate) derivatives (1R,6R,8aR)-(+)-IV and (1R,6S,8aR)-(-)-V. The absolute configuration of (-)-I was corroborated further by the application of the CD exciton chirality method to bis(4-bromobenzoates) (+)-IV and (-)-V.

Abstract The structure of the pyoverdin siderophore of Pseudomonas fluorescens 18.1 was elucidated by spectroscopic methods and chemical degradation. By cross feeding studies structurally closely related pyoverdins containing a C-terminal cyclopeptidic substructure were tested regarding the mutual recognition by the producing strains. Partial recognition of foreign pyoverdins was observed.

Tropinone (6) was deprotonated with lithium diisopropylamide and with chiral lithium amides (18–24) and the resulting enolates (two enantiomers) were treated with electrophiles. The aldol reaction with benzaldehyde and deuteration were both diastereoselective. The former yielded only one isomer (exo, anti) of the aldol 8a; the latter proceeded from the exo face. This selectivity permitted us to probe the deprotonation of tropinone with lithium amides; it was concluded that the reaction involves predominantly the exo axial protons. The reaction of tropinone enolate with ethyl chloroformate led, via a ring opening, to the cycloheptenone derivative 9. The reaction with methyl cyanoformate yielded, in the presence of silver acetate and acetic acid, the β-ketoester 8b; however, in the absence of these additives, and especially when 12-crown-4 was added to the enolate, a ring opening leading to the pyrrolidine derivative 10 occurred instead. Deprotonation of tropinone with chiral lithium amides proceeded with modest enantioselectivity. A synthesis of non-racemic anhydroecgonine via this strategy allowed establishing the absolute stereochemistry of deprotonation.
