Abstract
Six new sesquiterpenoids, linderanlide A–F (1 –5 and 12 ), and nine previously reported sesquiterpenoids (6 –11 and 13 –15 ) have been isolated from the root tubers of Lindera aggregata . The new structures have been elucidated by extensive spectroscopic interpretation, including UV, IR, NMR, HR‐ESI‐MS, and CD spectra. The structures of compounds 1 , 2 , 6 , 7 , and 9 were further confirmed by single-crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The absolute configurations of compounds 3 –5 were determined by CD spectral analysis.
Key words
Lindera aggregate
- Lauraceae - sesquiterpenoids - absolute configuration
