Abstract:
Two new beta-dihydroagarofuran sesquiterpene polyesters, 1S,13-diacetyloxy-4S-hydroxy-6R-(3-)furancarbonyloxy-9S-cinnamoyloxy-beta-dihydroagarofuran (1) and 1S,6R-di(2-)methylbutanoyloxy-4S-hydroxy-8S-benzoyloxy-9R-(3-)furancarbonyloxy-13-acetyloxy-beta-dihydroagarofuran (2), together with one known compound (3) were isolated from the seeds of Euonymus nanoides LOES. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data interpretation. Compound 2 showed moderate antitumor activity against BEL-7402, P-388, HL-60 and A-549.

Types of Step-Growth Polymers: Polyesters
Polyesters are commonly prepared from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol; the crude product is known as poly(ethylene terephthalate) or PET. However, polyesters are synthesized industrially by transesterification of dimethyl terephthalate with ethylene glycol at 150 °C. The two reactants and the polymer...
