Abstract
Ellagitannin dimers, 1,1′;2,2′-diHHDP-diglucose and 3,3′;4,4′-diHHDP-6,6′-digalloyl-diglucose, were recently isolated from the wood of the sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.). These compounds were originally reported to possess unprecedented macrocyclic dimeric structures bridged by two hexahydroxydiphenoyl (HHDP) groups. However, a reinvestigation of their spectroscopic data revealed that these compounds correspond to known ellagitannin monomers, namely 2,3-O-(Sa)-HHDP-d-glucopyranose and gemin D (3-O-galloyl-4,6-O-(Sa)-HHDP-d-glucopyranose), respectively. A comparison of the originally reported NMR data for 1,1′;2,2′-diHHDP-diglucose and 3,3′;4,4′-diHHDP-6,6′-digalloyl-diglucose with those of authentic 2,3-O-(Sa)-HHDP-d-glucopyranose and gemin D, combined with DFT-based NMR chemical shift calculations, unequivocally confirmed these structural revisions.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
