Eudesmane Sesquiterpenoids from the Wood of Platycarya strobilacea
Abstract:
The wood of Platycarya strobilacea Sieb. et Zucc. (Juglandaceae) was used as incense. In this study, three new sesquiterpenes (2, 4, 5) and one nor- sesquiterpene (3) were isolated and their structures determined as 7-hydroperoxy-11-hydroxy-2,4-cycloeudesman-8-one (2), 8-hydroxy-13-nor-2,4- cycloeudesman-7-en-I 1-one (3), 2,4-cycloeudesma-7(11), 8-dien-(12,8)-olide (4), and 8-hydroxy-8,12-peroxy-2,4-cycloeudesm-7(l I)-ene (5). In addition, the absolute configuration of a previously reported sesquiterpene was revised based on the calculation of its ECD spectrum.
