Abstract:
Two previously undescribed cyclopentenone metabolites, (S)-2-(3-acetylamino-2-methyl)propyl-3-butyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one (1) and (S)-2-(3-acetylamino-2-ethyl)propyl-3-butyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one (2), were isolated from the fermentation broth of the strain Streptomyces sp. HU119. The structures of 1 and 2 were determined by the comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, including 1 D, 2 D NMR, MS spectral analysis and the comparison with data from the literature. The absolute configurations were elucidated by experimental and calculated optical rotations (OR). Compounds 1 and 2 displayed weak cytotoxic activity.

Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
For example, in...
