Abstract:
A novel bioactive monotetrahydrofuran acetogenin named tonkinecin (1) and two known compounds, uvariamicins I and II, have been isolated from the roots of Uvaria tonkinesis. The structure of 1 was elucidated using spectral methods and its absolute stereochemistry established by 1H-NMR experiments utilizing Mosher ester methodology.
