Two dimeric cassane diterpenoids with an unprecedented 6/6/6/6/6/5/6/6/6 nonacyclic framework, pterolobirins A and B ( and ), were isolated from the fruits of . Their structures were assigned by interpreting the spectroscopic data. The absolute configuration of was unequivocally confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. A putative biosynthetic pathway is proposed based on a regular intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction and an intramolecular nucleophilic addition.
从 的果实中分离得到了两个具有前所未有的 6/6/6/6/6/5/6/6/6 非环骨架的二聚卡莎二萜类化合物,即 pterolobirins A 和 B( 和 )。通过解析光谱数据确定了它们的结构。通过单晶 X 射线衍射数据明确确定了 的绝对构型。根据规则的分子间 Diels-Alder 反应和分子内亲核加成反应,提出了一个可能的生物合成途径。
