Thermolysis of N-phenyl, N-para-biphenyl, and N-para, para′-terphenylmaleimide with 7-dehydrocholesteryl acetate in benzene solution at 200 °C yields mixtures of four cycloadducts in relative yields that are essentially independent of the maleimide substituent. The three major products are those of ene addition to C7 of the steroid with abstraction of the proton at C9 or C14. The α-endo-Diels-Alder adduct is formed as a minor product. The structures of the adducts have been elucidated on the basis of one- and two-dimensional 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic techniques, including homonuclear 1H decoupling, NOE, 1H–1H COSY, heteronuclear 1H–13C shift correlation, and TOCSY 2-D experiments, and the results of molecular mechanics (MMX) calculations. The combination of these techniques has made it possible to almost completely assign the 1H and 13C NMR spectra for two of the ene adducts and the Diels–Alder adduct from reaction of 7-dehydrocholesteryl acetate with N-phenyl maleimide.

The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of the cardenolides digitoxigenin, digoxigenin, digitoxin, and mono- and bis-digitoxigenin digitoxosides have been completely assigned by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. The techniques used include phase-sensitive COSY, multiple relay COSY, and carbon–proton correlation (HETCOR and HMQC) spectra. Various aspects of the solution conformation of the steroid moiety of digitoxin and digoxigenin could be determined from coupling constants and NOE difference experiments and they are indicative of an all-chair conformation. The carbohydrate rings in digitoxin and the mono- and bis-digitoxigenin digitoxosides are also in the chair conformation. Keywords: cardenolides, digitoxigenin, digitoxin, 2-dimensional NMR, conformational analysis.

Abstract A new bidesmosidic furostanol saponin was isolated from leaves of Furcraea gigantea Vent. Its structure was established as 3-[(O-6-deoxy-α-L-mannopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-β -D-glucopyranosyl-( 1→3)-O-[O-β -D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-β -D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-β -D-glucopyranosyl- (1→4)-β -D-galactopyranosyl)oxy]-(3β ,5α,15α,22α,25R)-26-(β -D-glucopyranosyloxy)-15,22-dihydroxy- furost-12-one. Its structural identification was performed using detailed analyses of 1H and 13C NMR spectra including 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques (DEPT, COSY, HETCOR and COLOC) and chemical conversions. The steroidal saponin showed no haemolytic effects in the in vitro assays and demonstrated inhibition of the capillary permeability activity.

Two new steroidal saponins were isolated from the rhizomes of Costus spiralis Rosc. Their structures were established as (3β,25R)-26-(β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyloxy)-22-hydroxyfurost-5- en-3-ylO-d-apio-β-ᴅ-furanosyl-(1→2)-O-[α-ʟ-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→4)]-β-ᴅ-glucopyranoside (1) and (3β,25R)-26-(β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyloxy)-22-hydroxyfurost-5-en-3-yl O-ᴅ-apio-β-ᴅ-furanosyl-( 154)-O-[α-ʟ-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)]-β-ᴅ-glucopyranoside (2). Their structural identifications were performed using detailed analyses of 1H and 13C NMR spectra including 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques (DEPT, COSY, HETCOR and COLOC) and chemical conversions. The steroidal saponins were evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity.

A synthetic route to perhydrocyclododeca[b]furan-3-ols, perhydrocyclododeca[b]furan-3-ones, and perhydrocyclododeca[b]furan derivatives is described. Their configurations were determined. For the perhydrocyclododeca[b]furan-3-one and perhydrocyclododeca[b]furan pairs, the cis isomer was much less stable than the trans isomer. This agrees well with results from a conformational analysis, carried out by molecular mechanics. The 1H and l3C NMR spectra are reported. Key words: perhydrocyclododeca[b]furans, conformations, force field calculations, 1H and 13C NMR.

L-[3-13C]Phenylalanine and L-[3-13C]tyrosine were administered to Morus alba cell cultures, to produce intermolecular Diels–Alder type adducts of a prenylchalcone and a 2-arylbenzofuran such as chalcomoracin (1) as well as the adducts of two molecules of prenylchalcones such as kuwanon J (2) in high yields. The 13C NMR spectra of 1 and 2 isolated from the cultures revealed that both amino acids were incorporated intact into chalcomoracin (1) and kuwanon J (2). This is the first example of direct NMR evidence for the almost equivalent incorporation of phenylalanine and tyrosine into the shikimate metabolites. This finding suggests the participation of a biosynthetic route from phenylalanine via trans-cinnamate to p-coumarate and from tyrosine to p-coumarate in this plant.

Abstract The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of various alkylsubstituted η3-allyl-η5-cyclopentadienyl-nickel complexes were analysed with the help of two dimensional correlation (1H-1H and 1H-13C) NMR. The use of two dimensional NMR techniques for the routine analysis of complicated NMR spectra is demonstrated.

The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of chromotropic acid (CTA) (4,5-dihydroxy-2,7-naphthalenedisulphonic acid) have been unambiguously assigned. Proton NOED spectra were used to show the proximity of both H-3 and H-6 and the hydroxyl groups. Two-dimensional 1H–13C NMR correlation spectra of CTA, of its corresponding diacetoxy derivative, and of 3-bromo- and 3,6-dibromo-CTA support the assignments. A regioselective deuterium exchange reaction of the C-3 and C-6 protons of CTA with deuterium oxide was observed during the NMR experiments. This latter finding is strongly indicative of the mode of formation, and of the nature of the chromogen formed in the reaction of CTA with formaldehyde in the well-known CTA-formaldehyde analytical reaction. Key words: chromotropic acid, 3-bromochromotropic acid, 3,6-dibromochromotropic acid.

In general dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and methyl propiolate have been found to react with 2-vinylfurans to give the corresponding dimethyl benzofuran-4,5-di-carboxylates and methyl benzofuran-4- carboxylates respectively. In several instances dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate did not react exclusively with the exocyclic diene system of the 2-vinylfuran and here the corresponding dimethyl 3,6-epoxy-3-vinyl-3,6-dihydrophthalates were obtained by Diels-Alder addition to the furanoid diene system. At 80� 2-vinylfuran and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate formed the 1 : 2 adduct (11), the formation of which can be interpreted as involving an ene addition of a second mole of the acetylenic ester to the initially formed Diels-Alder adduct.

A new steroidal saponin was isolated from the leaves of Agave attenuata Salm-Dyck. Its structure was established as (3β,5β,22α,25S)-26-(β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyloxy)-22-methoxyfurostan- 3-yl O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-[β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl- (1→3)]-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-ᴅ-galactopyranoside. The structural identification was performed using detailed analyses of 1H and 13C NMR spectra including 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques (COSY, HETCOR and COLOC) and chemical conversions. The haemolytic potential of the steroidal saponin was evaluated and the anti-inflammatory activity was performed using the capillary permeability assay.
