Dihydro-β-agarofuran Sesquiterpenoids from Plenckia integerrima

Abstract

Four new dihydroagarofurans (1–4) were isolated from the root bark of Plenckia integerrima. The structures of 1–4 were determined by means of 1D and 2D NMR techniques, and circular dichroism (CD) was used to determine the absolute configuration of compound 1.

Key words

dihydroagarofurans - Plenckia integerrima - Celastraceae - ¹H NMR - ¹³C NMR - CD
