On the structure of aspongopusin recently isolated from Aspongopus chinensis
1State Key Laboratory of Bioorganic and Natural Products Chemistry, Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 345 Lingling Road, Shanghai 200032, China.
Abstract:
The 2,5-disubstituted oxazole recently proposed for aspongopusin, a natural product isolated from Aspongopus chinensis, was synthesized through an unambiguous route. The synthetic sample showed (1)H and (13)C NMR entirely different from those in the literature, revealing that the initially assigned structure was incorrect. The spectroscopic data for the given structure are thus made available for the first time.
