A versatile synthetic route to pterosins, sesquiterpenoid indanones present in bracken, Pteridiumaquilinum, has been developed. The route is exemplified by the synthesis of (2S,3S)-pterosin C by Friedel–Crafts bisacylation of the methyl ether of 2-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)ethanol with methylmalonyl chloride. Demethylation of the resulting 1,3-indandione and reduction with zinc and acetic acid in the presence of acetic anhydride and sodium acetate afforded a mixture of racemic cis and trans isomers of pterosin C diacetate, which was hydrolysed to the corresponding pterosins. Separation and resolution via the S-(+)-α-phenylbutyric esters gave (2S,3S)-pterosin C and (2R,3R)-pterosin C. Other pterosins were prepared as racemates from the 1,3-indandione.

cis and trans isomers of 1,4-dimethyl-4-nitro-1,4-dihydro-1-naphthyl acetate (1) have been isolated from a mixture of 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene and nitric acid in acetic anhydride by quenching at −40°. At room temperature only 1-methyl-4-nitromethylnaphthalene (4) is obtained. The conversion of 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene to 4 and of the cis (1a) and trans (1b) adducts to 4, by nitric acid in acetic anhydride, has been followed by n.m.r. 1,4-Dimethyl-4-nitro-1,4-dihydro-1-naphthyl nitrate (5) appears to be the immediate product from nitration of 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene in acetic anhydride, methylene chloride, or nitromethane. In acetic anhydride 5 is converted into 1. Decomposition of 1 in acetic acid gives 1,4-dimethyl-2-naphthyl acetate and some 4. The formation of 4 in this reaction is suppressed by urea.

Nitration of l-chloro-2,3-dimethylbenzene in acetic anhydride gives the cis and trans isomers of 3-chloro-4,5-dimethyl-4-nitrocyclohexa-2,5-dienyl acetate (29%) and l-chloro-2,3-dimethyl-4-nitro- (46%), -5-nitro- (5%), and -6-nitrobenzene (20%). In formic acid and acidified methanol, exchange of acetate for formate and methoxyl, respectively, occurs and the diastereoisomers of 3-chloro-4,5-dimethyl-4-nitrocyclohexa-2,5-dienyl formate and methyl ether, respectively, are formed. Rearomatization of each isomer of 3-chloro-4,5-dimethyl-4-nitrocyclohexa-2,5-dienyl acetate in acetic acid results in initial isomerization to form the pair of diastereoisomers and subsequent elimination of nitrous acid to form 3-chloro-4,5-dimethylphenyl acetate. In 25% trifluoroacetic acid in deuteriochloroform elimination of acetic acid and migration of the nitro group to form 1-chloro-2,3-dimethyl-4-nitro-benzene and a lesser amount of its 6-nitro isomer is the dominant reaction. In the presence of mesitylene the formation of the nitro derivatives is suppressed and 3′-chloro-2,4,4′,5′,6-pentamethylbiphenyl is obtained. It is proposed that cyclohexadienyl cations are significant intermediates in ail of the reactions. Pyrolysis of the adducts gives 1-chloro-2,3-dimethylbenzene as the major product.

Nitration of 2-chloro-1,3,5-trimethylbenzene in acetic anhydride gives the cis and trans isomers of 4-chloro-1,3,5-trimethyl-4-nitrocyclohexa-2,5-dienyl acetate (1, 21%), the cis and trans isomers of 3-chloro-2,4,6-trimethyl-4-nitrocyclohexa-2,5-dienyl acetate (2, 6%), and 2-chloro-1,3,5-trimethyl-4-nitrobenzene (73%). Diene 1 reacts with acidified aqueous acetone to form the corresponding dienol, acidified methanol to form the methyl ether, and hydrogen chloride to form the corresponding chloride. In acetic acid a mixture of 4-chloro-3,5-dimethyl-benzyl derivatives and 3-chloro-2,4,6-trimethylphenyl acetate are formed. In trifluoroacetic acid – trifluoroacetic anhydride and also in boron trifluoride etherate, 2-chloro-1,3,5-trimethyl-4-nitrobenzene is the predominant product. Diene 2 on reaction with acetic acid, acidified methanol, trifluoroacetic acid – trifluoroacetic anhydride, and boron trifluoride etherate gives 3-chloro-2,4,6-trimethylphenyl acetate. Some 2-chloro-4-nitromesitylene is obtained in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. Diene 2 also gives the acetate on standing at ambient temperature or at −20 °C, and on pyrolysis. Diene 1 gives 4-chloro-3,5-dimethylphenylnitromethane on standing at ambient temperature or at −20 °C but a mixture of 2-chloro-1,3,5-trimethyl-4-nitrobenzene, chloromesitylene, and 3-chloro-2,4,6-trimethylphenyl acetate on pyrolysis.

Nitration of p-xylene in acetic anhydride gives as the major product cis and trans isomers of the adduct 1,4-dimethyl-4-nitro-1,4-dihydrophenyl acetate (1) as well as 2-nitro-p-xylene. The acetoxynitro adducts 1a and 1b are stereospecifically cleaved to the hydroxynitro adducts 2a and 2b, respectively, by sodium methoxide. Acid-catalyzed exchange of OAc in 1 for OCH3, OCHO, OCH2C6H4CH3-p occurs and is nonstereospecific. Rearomatization of 1 gives 2-nitro-p-xylene, side-chain (benzylic) derivatives, and 2,5-xylyl acetate. The relevance of these reactions to side-chain substitution of arenes under electrophilic conditions is discussed.

Butterfly pea flower have great sensory attraction, but they have not yet been used widely in Vietnam. Extracts of butterfly pea flowers can be used conveniently as a natural blue colorant for food products. In this study, the identification of anthocyanin compounds in butterfly pea flowers was performed by UPLC coupled with a UV and Mass spectrometer instrument. Positive and negative ion electrospray MS/MS chromatograms and spectra of the anthocyanin compounds were determined. By analyzing the chromatograms and spectra for each ion, five anthocyanins were identified in the butterfly pea flower extract; these were delphinidin-3-(6”‐p-coumaroyl)-rutinoside, cyanidin 3-(6”-p-coumaroyl)-rutinoside, delphinidin-3-(p-coumaroyl) glucose in both cis- and trans- isomers, cyanidin-3-(p-coumaroyl-glucoside) and delphinidin-3-pyranoside. Additionally, based on their intensity, it was determined that cyanidin-3-(p-coumaroyl-glucoside) was the most abundant anthocyanin, followed by cyanidin 3-(6”-p-coumaroyl)-rutinoside, delphinidin-3-(p-coumaroyl-glucoside), delphinidin-3-(6”-p-coumaroyl)-rutinoside and delphinidin-3-pyranoside. In this study, cyanidin derivatives were discovered in butterfly pea flower extract, where these compounds had not been detected in previous studies.
