From the leaf exudate of Aloe lateritia ENGLER the C-glucosyl com pounds homonataloin, aloeresin A and aloesin (synon. aloeresin B) were isolated together with the anthraquinone nataloeem odin-8-methylether and spectroscopically identified. Hom onataloin, widely distributed in Aloe species, was separated into homonataloin A and B by combined TLC and DCCC. In their 1 D and 2D 1H NMR spectra only the shifts of the 2′-hydroxyl protons of both glucosyl residues differ significantly, indicative of 10 S (A) resp. 10 S (B) configurations. In both com pounds the anthrone is in β-position of the D-glucopyranosyl, as determined by the large coupling constants of the anomeric protons. The 13C NMR signals are unambiguously assigned by the use of DEPT, APT and gated-decoupling methods. Only the chemical shifts of C -11 and C -14 show significant differences between both diastereomers due to the adjacent 2′-sugar hydroxyls. The two homonataloins differ mostly in optical rotation and circulardichroism due to different configurations at C - 10 of the anthrone part. The absolute configurations of the diastereomers are determined by correlation of their CD spectra with the CD spectra of the structural analogues 7-hydroxyaloins A and B, which shows that hom onataloin A is the 10 S, 1′S-compound and that homonataloin B has 10 R, 1′S-configuration.
Crystal and molecular structure analysis of the electron rich title compound exhibits an undistorted, yet sterically shielded tetra(primary alkyl)-substituted double bond system with alternating anti-periplanar CH2SiMe3 substituents. The diastereotopic methylene protons have been located and their position correlated to the 1HNMR data and to the ESR hyperfine coupling constants of the corresponding radical cation. In contrast to the highly inert all-carbon derivative, tetraneopentylethene, the more electron-rich and more flexible organosilicon title compound reacts with bromine. Close to orthogonal arrangement between the C-C(H2)-Si planes and the ethene plane ensures effective, fourfold σ/π-hyperconjugation.
Untersuchungen zur Charakterisierung des Prochamazulens Matrizin aus Matricaria chamomilla L.
(1982)
The relative configuration of the thermolabile chamazulene precursor matricine has been established by NMR spectrometric studies.
The NMR spectral data prove to be consistent with the well-known structure of the chamomile component. On the basis of our results the levorotatory natural substance moreover can be specified stereochemically as (−)-(3S*, 3aR*, 4S*, 9R*, 9aS*, 9bS*)-4-acetoxy-2,3,3a,4,5,9,9a,9b-octahydro-9-hydroxy-3,6,9-trimethylazuleno[4,5-b]furan-2-one.
