Abstract
The first concise synthesis of the proposed structure
of violaceoid
E, possessing a cis-diol moiety, has been achieved.
However, the spectroscopic data of the synthetic compound were inconsistent
with those of the natural product, suggesting that the genuine violaceoid
E might be a trans-diol. An efficient synthesis of
our proposed trans-diol-type violaceoid E has also
been achieved, enabling the establishment of the absolute configuration
of natural violaceoid E.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Natural Products invites and publishes papers that make substantial and scholarly contributions to the area of natural products research. Contributions may relate to the chemistry and/or biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds or the biology of living systems from which they are obtained.
Specifically, there may be articles that describe secondary metabolites of microorganisms, including antibiotics and mycotoxins; physiologically active compounds from terrestrial and marine plants and animals; biochemical studies, including biosynthesis and microbiological transformations; fermentation and plant tissue culture; the isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical synthesis of novel compounds from nature; and the pharmacology of compounds of natural origin.
When new compounds are reported, manuscripts describing their biological activity are much preferred.
