Alotamide is a cyclic depsipetide isolated from a marine cyanobacterium and possesses a unique activation of calcium influx in murine cerebrocortical neurons (EC50 4.18 µM). Due to its limited source, the three stereocenters (C19, C28, and C30) in its polyketide fragment remain undetermined. In this study, the first asymmetric synthesis of its polyketide fragment was achieved. Four relative possible diastereomers were constructed with a boron-mediated enantioselective aldol reaction and Julia–Kocienski olefination as the key steps. Comparison of 13C NMR spectra revealed the relative structure of fragment C15–C32 of alotamide.

Abstract An analysis of the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of the chlorobutyl and bromobutyl rubbers was performed. Peaks were assigned based on evidence from broad-band decoupled, off-resonance decoupled, selectively decoupled and J-modulated spectra, the known characterization of butyl rubber and halogenation studies on model compounds. The assignment of the minor peaks indicated that the exomethylene-type structure is predominant in both halogenated rubbers. They also contain some nonhalogenated isoprenyl units. Bromobutyl rubber also contains some α-bromomethyl-type structures resulting from rearrangement of the exomethylene structure. The presence of endo-type structures will require further study for confirmation.

An application of solid 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for the determination of macronutrients, total polyphenols content, antioxidant activity, N C S elements, and pH in commercially available bee pollens is reported herein. Solid-state 13C NMR spectra were recorded for homogenized pollen granules without chemical treatment or dissolution of samples. By combining spectral data with the results of reference analyses, partial least squares models were constructed and validated separately for each of the studied parameters. To characterize and compare the models’ quality, the relative standard errors of prediction (RSEP) were calculated for calibration and validation sets. In the case of the analysis of protein, fat and reducing sugars, these errors were in the 1.8–2.5% range. Modeling the elemental composition of bee pollen on the basis of 13C NMR spectra resulted in RSEPcal/RSEPval values of 0.3/0.6% for the sum of NHCS elements, 0.3/0.4% for C, 1.8/1.9% for N, and 4.2/6.1% for S quantification. Analyses of total phenolics and ABTS antioxidant activity resulted in RSEP values in the 2.7–3.5% and 2.8–3.8% ranges, respectively, whereas they were 1.4–2.1% for pH. The obtained results demonstrate the usefulness of 13C solid-state NMR spectroscopy for direct determination of various important physiochemical parameters of bee pollen.
