Oxidation of phorbol with one mole of lead tetraacetate yields bisdehydrophorbol, tiglophorbol and small amounts of phorbolacton-semiacetal. By chemical and spectroscopic investigations of bisdehydrophorbol and its derivatives its complete structure 16 is derived based upon the partial structures and structural elements of phorbol (1 - 3) which have been deduced in preceding communications. By consideration of the mechanism of the oxidative scission of the cyclopropanol unit in phorbol the structure 15 of this new tetracyclic diterpene is obtained. 15 has a pentamethyl-tetradecahydro-1H-cyclopropabenzazulene skeleton (tiglian) carrying as functional groups a tertiary hydroxyl group, an α,β-unsaturated tertiary 1.2-ketol group, a primary allyl alcohol group and a α- [hydroxycyclopropyl] -carbinol group. Phorbol is 4.9.12β.13.20-pentahydroxy-tigliadien- (1.6) -on- (3) (15) , bisdehydrophorbol 4.9.12β.20-tetrahydroxy-13.15-seco-tigliatrien- (1.6.15) -dion- (3.13) (16) the conformations of which have been determined. The structure of phorbolacton-semiacetal is determined in the following communication of this series. Based upon the structure of phorbol and additional chemical and spectroscopic evidence the structure of tiglophorbol (17) is also derived. With the data provided the relative configuration and the conformation of six out of the eight asymmetric centers of phorbol is determined.

Annotine, C16H21O3N, is shown to be pentacyclic and to contain a tertiary hydroxyl group, a lactone function, a tertiary nitrogen atom, and a dialkylated double bond. The position of the double bond and the tertiary hydroxyl group relative to the nitrogen atom has been established by Emde degradation of annotine methiodide. The presence of a lactone function is inferred from the reduction of annotine to dihydroannotinol, a hemiacetal, which reacts with 1 mole of ethyl mercaptan. The reduction of the lactone to a diol in an annotine derivative has been carried out. The chemical studies and the examination of annotine and its derivatives by modern instrumental methods allow the assignment of a plausible structure to the alkaloid.

By chemical and spectroscopic methods, carnaubadiol, C31H54O2, a constituent of carnauba wax, was shown to contain one secondary and one tertiary hydroxyl group, and one isopropenyl group. A series of degradative reactions yielded a heptanorketone, identical with the known 3β-acetoxyhexanordammaran-20-one, previously obtained from dammarenediol. The structure and configuration of the side-chain were established by oxidation of dihydrocarnaubadiol to the known (-)-(S)-5,6-dimethylheptan-2-one. Carnaubadiol was thus shown to be 24β-methyl- dammar-25-ene-3β,20ξ-diol.

TFA was added to a solution of a bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane azide-alcohol in CDCl3 to correctly characterize the compound, but during 24 h gave the trifluoro acetylated compound in quantitative yield. NMR spectra of the esterified compound helped us also to correctly attribute the NMR signals to the protons, and also confirmed the identification of the carbon atoms. The study was extended to other 14 compounds containing a primary alcohol group alone or with an ethylene ketal, a δ- or -lactone group, a primary and a secondary group, two primary and an alkene group and two primary and a secondary alcohol groups on scaffolds containing bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, oxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane, bicyclo [2.2.1]heptane constrained with a cyclopropane ring and bicyclo[3.3.0]octane fragments. The esterification of all compounds was also quantitative in 24 to 72 h; this helped us to correct attribute the NMR signals to the protons and carbon atoms of the un-esterified compounds by comparison with those of the trifluoro acetylated compounds. A graphical presentation of 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra of a few un-esterified and esterified compounds are presented in the paper.

Starting from γ-ketoesters with an o-iodobenzyl group we studied a palladium-catalyzed cyclization process that stereoselectively led to bi- and tricyclic compounds in moderate to excellent yields. Four X-ray crystal structure analyses unequivocally defined the structure of crucial cyclization products. The relative configuration of the precursor compounds is essentially transferred to that of the products and the formed hydroxy group in the newly generated cyclohexane ring is consistently in trans-arrangement with respect to the methoxycarbonyl group. A transition-state model is proposed to explain the observed stereochemical outcome. This palladium-catalyzed Barbier-type reaction requires a reduction of palladium(II) back to palladium(0) which is apparently achieved by the present triethylamine.

A new alkaloid pleurospermine, C14Hl9O3N, has been isolated from the leaves of Cryptocarya pleurosperma. Pleurospermine contains a methoxyl group, a phenolic hydroxyl group, and a tertiary nitrogen atom. The third oxygen atom is possibly present as an alcoholic hydroxyl group. On heating with palladium-charcoal the alkaloid yields 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyacetophenone (I), while methylation followed by oxidation gives veratric acid.

The object of the present study was to see whether there are tendencies towards reactive arson, measured as a relation between frustration, intoxication and a disposition to start fires. One hundred individuals, 50 men and 50 women, participated. All were students and they were randomly assigned to each of five experimental groups, namely a Control Group, a Placebo Group, a Frustration Group, an Alcohol Group and an Alcohol + Frustration Group. A projective test was devised which required the participant to complete a short story where the content involved a person who had suffered humiliation and persecution and who was fingering a box of matches in his/her pocket. Results indicated that frustration increases the probability of starting fires, but, in this study, alcohol did not increase the degree of relation to fire. Results also suggest that there are strong cognitive barriers in a population of university students against fantasizing about starting fires.

In the title cholesterol analogue, [systematic name: (3S,8S,9S,10R,13S,14S,17R)-17-{(S)-1-[4-(2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl]-6-methylheptan-2-yl}-10,13-dimethyl-2,3,4,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17-tetradecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-3-ol] C32H53N3O2, a new chain, including an intermediate triazole and a tertiary hydroxyl group in the terminal position, has been added at position 20 inducing a change in its stereochemistry. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming layers lying parallel to (-201) and enclosing R 4 4(36) ring motifs. The isopropyl group is disordered about two positions with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.763 (5):0.237 (5). A region of disordered electron density was corrected for using the SQUEEZE routine in PLATON (Spek (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 9–18). The given chemical formula and other crystal data do not take into account the unknown solvent molecule(s).
