Thymol derivatives from Eupatorium glechonophyllum

The known 10-acetoxy-8,9-epoxythymolisobutyrate and the new 8,9-dihydroxy-10-acetoxythymolisobutyrate and 8,9,10-trihydroxythymol have been isolated from the thallus of Eupatorium glechonophyllum. The acetonide of the last compound was also obtained. The possibility that the new compounds are artefacts is discussed.     

New melampolides,kaurene derivatives and other constituents from Ichthyothere species

The reinvestigation of Ichthyothere terminalis afforded, in addition to known compounds, two new melampolides, a hydroxy borneol, a pinene derivati     

Cacalol derivatives from Senecio lydenburgensis

An investigation of Senecio lydenburgensis afforded eight new cacalol and cacalohastin derivatives. Their structures were deduced from the molecular formulae and ¹H NMR spectra.     

Five labdane derivatives from Koanophyllon conglobatum

A re-investigation of the aerial parts of Koanophyllon conglobatum afforded six new diterpenes, five labdanes and one seco-labdane, as well as two hydroperoxides which may be artefacts.     

New labdane derivatives from Madia sativa

The aerial parts of Madia sativa afforded, in addition to known compounds, two labdane derivatives whose structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. The absolute configuration was determined by chemical transformations. From the roots a new tremetone derivative was isolated. The constituents indicated close relationships of Madia to Hemizonia.     

Pyrogallol derivatives from Leucanthemopsis pallida subsp.flaveola

from Leucanthemopsis pallida subsp.flaveo three new pyrogallol derivatives were isolated: 4-hydroxy-5-propionyl-1,3-di-O-methylpyrogallol, 4-hydroxy-5-propionyl-1,3-di-O-methyl-2-O-isopentenylpyrogallol and 5-(1′-isovalerianoyloxy)-ethyl-1,3-di-O-methyl-2-O-isopentenylpyrogallol.     

Phloroglucinol derivatives from Leucanthemopsis pulverulenta

From roots of Leucanthemopsis pulverulenta, two new phloroglucinol derivatives and (+) sesamin, have been isolated. The new compounds were identified as 1 - acetyl - 4 - isopentenyl - 6 - methylphloroglucinol and 1 - acetyl - 3 - hydroxy - 2,6 - dimethyl - 4 - isopentenylphloroglucinol.     

Further cadinene derivatives from Heterotheca latifolia

A reinvestigation of the aerial parts of Heterotheca latifolia afforded four new cadinene derivatives.     

Four guaianolides and other constituents from three kaunia species*

The investigation of three species of the new genus Kaunia afforded four new guaianolides and four thymol derivatives. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. The chemotaxonomic situation is discussed briefly.     

Five tricyclic sesquiterpenes from Callilepis salicifolia

The roots of Callilepis salicifolia afforded in addition to known compounds four derivatives of isocomene, one dihydroxysilphinene isovalerate, two     

Cuauthemone sesquiterpenoids from Blumea alata

The investigation of five Blumea species afforded, in addition to known compounds, several cuauthemone derivatives, most of them being 7,11-epoxides, some thymol derivatives, an eremophilane epoxide and a himachalane diol. From Pterocaulon virgatum a further himachalane derivative was isolated. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and in part by partial synthesis.     

Phenolic derivatives from Artemisia campestris subsp. Glutinosa

From the hexane extract of Artemisia campestris subsp. glutinosa, sakuranetin, dihydroquercetin-7,3′-dimethyl ether and three acetophenone derivatives identified as 3-[4-acetoxyisopent-2(Z)-enyl]-4-hydroxyacetophenone, 3-[4-acetoxyisopent-2(E)-enyl]-4-hydroxyacetophenone and 3-(3-acetoxymethyl-2-hydroxybut-3-enyl)-4-hydroxyacetophenone, have been isolated.     

Thymol derivatives from hairy roots of Arnica montana

Five known thymol derivatives were isolated from roots of Arnica montana transformed with Agrobacterium rhizogenes LBA 9402. The compounds were characterized by spectral methods. The pattern of thymol derivatives in light-grown hairy roots was slightly different from that in dark-grown ones. This is the first report on the presence of thymol derivatives in hairy roots of the plant.     

Labdane and dehydronerolidol derivatives from Brickellia diffusa

An investigation of Brickellia diffusa afforded three new dehydronerolidol derivatives and five new labdane derivatives, all highly oxygenated. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and a few chemical transformations. The compounds isolated showed close relationships to those isolated from Brickellia sp.     

Kolavenol derivatives from goyazianthus tetrastichus

From the new monotypic genus Goyazianthus several kolavenol derivatives were isolated. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods.
