Abstract:
Four new chlorinated cycloaromatized enediyne compounds, jejucarbosides B-E (1-4), were discovered together with previously-identified jejucarboside A from a marine actinomycete strain. Compounds 1-4 were identified as new chlorinated cyclopenta[a]indene glycosides based on 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and circular dichroism (CD) spectra. Jejucarbosides B and E bear a carbonate functional group whereas jejucarbosides C and D are variants possessing 1,2-diol by losing the carbonate functionality. It is proposed that the production of 1-4 occurs via Bergman cycloaromatization capturing Cl- and H+ in the alternative positions of a p-benzyne intermediate derived from a 9-membered enediyne core. Jejucarboside E (4) displayed significant cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines including SNU-638, SK-HEP-1, A549, HCT116, and MDA-MB-231, with IC50 values of 0.31, 0.40, 0.25, 0.29, and 0.48 μM, respectively, while jejucarbosides B-D (1-3) showed moderate or no cytotoxic effects.

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...
