.A novel sesquiterpene (1 Z,2R*,4R*,7S*,11S*)-3,3,7,11-tetramethyltricyclo[6.3.0.02,4]undec-1(8)-en-4-ol (3) was isolated from the soft coral Xenia novae-britanniae. Its structure was tentatively deduced by n.m.r. spectroscopy, and the structure with relative stereochemistry was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Investigation of a Xenia species afforded the known metabolite waixenicin -A previously isolated from Anthelia edmondsoni .

Two isomeric 7,8-epoxycembra-3,11,15-trien-16,2-olides have been isolated from different species of the soft coral genus Efflatounaria. The structure of each was deduced spectroscopically , and the relative stereochemistry of one was determined by X-ray crystallography. The absolute stereochemistry of each cembranolide was obtained by chemical correlation with known compounds.

Three new diterpenes have been isolated from soft corals of the genus Efflatounaria (Coelenterata, Octocorallia, Alcyonacea, Xeniidae). The structure of the first compound (4) was elucidated on the basis of high-field 1H n.m.r. spectroscopy while that of the second metabolite (5) was determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The third diterpene (6) was structurally related to (5), and its structure was confirmed by chemical transformation. All three diterpenes can be derived from xenicin-type precursors, by cleavage and recyclization.

A specimen of Lobophytum cristigalli collected in Sri Lanka afforded two cembranolide diterpenes (7E,11E,1R,2S,3R,4R,14S)-14-acetoxy-3,4-epoxycembra-7,11,15-trien-17,2-olide (6)* and the corresponding alcohol (7). Their structures were deduced spectroscopically and detailed stereochemistry of (6) was determined by X-ray crystallography.

The soft coral Lemnalia cervicornis May 1898 has afforded 13 novel sesquiterpenoid metabolites. The majority were derivatives of calamenen-7-ol and the structures were deduced by 1H and 13C n.m.r . spectroscopy. Absolute stereochemistry of compounds (3)-(13) was determined by chemical correlation with 7-hydroxycalamenen-3-one (3) for which an X-ray structure determination of its 7-p-bromobenzoyl derivative is reported. Two minor metabolites (15) and (16) were not aromatic, but were structurally related to the algal metabolite zonarene (21) for which absolute stereochemistry was available.

The isolation of '9-deacetoxyxenicin' [systematic name: (1R*,4aS*,7E,11aS*,1'R*,2'R*)-1-acetoxy-4-(1',2'-diacetoxy-4'-methylpent-3'-enyl)-7-methy1-11-methylene-1,4a,5,6,9,10,11,11a-octahydrocyclonona[c]pyran] (2) from Xenia crassa and a further cyclized diterpene (6) from Xenia viridis are described. The structure of (2) was derived from n.m.r. spectroscopic comparison with xenicin (1), whilst the structure of (6) was determined by a single-crystal X-ray analysis when spectroscopy failed to afford an unambiguous structure.

The structure and relative stereochemistry of four new metabolites from Briareum steckei has been deduced from 2D-n.m.r. experiments at high field, and confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray determination of a minor metabolite. The new compounds are non-halogenated briaran derivatives: (1R*,2S*,3R*,5Z,7S*,8(17)Z,l0R*, llR *,12S*,14S*)- 3,14-diacetoxy- 11,12-epoxy- 18-oxobriara-5,8(17)-dien-2-yl butanoate (3), its 3-deacetoxy derivative (4), (1R*,2R*,4R*,5Z,7S*,8(17)Z,10R*, 11R *,12S*,14S*)-4,14-diacetoxy-11,12-epoxy-18-oxobriara-5,8(17)-dien-2-yl butanoate (5) and the related 2-propanoate (6). Single-crystal X-ray determinations were performed on (5) and (6).

The structure elucidation of three new diterpenes , isolated from a soft coral Cespitularia species, is reported. Two of the metabolites (3), (7E,11E,1R*,3aS*,4S*,12aR*)-11-iso-propyl-1,4,8-trimethyl- 1,2,3,3a,4,5,6,9,10,12a-decahydrocyclopentacycloundecene-1,4-diol, and (4), (4E,7E,11E)-11-isopropyl-1,4,8-trimethyl-1,2,3,3a,6,9,10,12a-octahydrocyclopentacyclo-undecen-1-ol, are shown to possess a further cyclized cembrane skeleton, the structure of (3) being determined by a single-crystal X-ray determination while that of (4) was deduced from spectral comparison with (3). The structure of the remaining diterpene (5) (4,5-deoxyneodolabelline) was deduced from 1H and 13C n.m.r . spectroscopic studies and shown to be closely related to the recently reported clavularian metabolite neodolabelline (8). An authentic sample of neodolabelline (8) was chemically transformed into (5) by the action of a zinc-copper couple establishing the absolute structure of (5).

The compound 2-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridine (1) was synthesized with a yield of 71% by the reaction of 1-(thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridine-2-yl)hydrazine and acetylacetone. The structure was characterized by a single-crystal X-ray structure determination as well as 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopy. X-ray crystallography on 1 confirms the molecule consists of a pyridine–thiazole moiety and the pyrazole ring, and all non-hydrogen atoms are planar.

A wide range of α-diazo-β-ketosulfones have been applied to thermally promoted tandem Wolff rearrangement – Staudinger [2+2] cycloaddition with imines to give polysubstituted β-lactam sulfones. Dia­stereomerically pure syn-diastereomers were obtained in good yields and the relative stereochemistry was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. These findings significantly expand the scope of this transformation, in contrast to substantial limitations reported previously. Moreover, this methodology enables flexible exploration of new substitution patterns around the privileged β-lactam core for drug design and optimization.
