Abstract:
Two new norsesquiterpenoids, oxyphyllenotriol A (1) and oxyphyllone G (2), and two new sesquiterpenoids, oxyphyllol D (3) and oxyphyllol E (4), together with two known compounds (5, 6) were isolated from the fruits of Alpinia oxyphylla. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, including high resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS), 1D- and 2D-NMR, and the absolute configurations of 2 and 4 were determined by theoretical calculation of electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and comparison with the experimental ECD spectra.

Common Names of Aldehydes and Ketones
Common names of aldehydes are derived from the names of their corresponding acid. For instance, the two-carbon aldehyde–acetaldehyde derives its name from the corresponding acid–acetic acid. Similarly, formaldehyde derives its name from formic acid and benzaldehyde from benzoic acid.

Ketones with Nonenolizable Aromatic Aldehydes: Claisen–Schmidt Condensation
As the self-condensation of ketones is generally not favored in basic conditions, the self-condensed products do not form in the reaction between ketones and benzaldehyde. The general reaction of Claisen–Schmidt condensation is...
