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.
The stereochemistry of the bisaboloids in chamomile-with the exception of bisabolol-oxide C-has been elucidated. The in-vitro-examination of the mutual convertibilities of some bisaboloids gave evidence for the stereochemical accordance of the common chiral centres of all the bisaboloids. The absolute configurations of the remaining third asymmetric carbon atoms in bisabololoxide A and B have been determined by NMR spectrometric studies in comparison with their unnatural semisynthetic epimers. All the stereogenic centres of the bisabololoxides A and B, of (-)-α-bisabolol and of bisabolonoxide A turn out to be S-configurated.
