Af. Barrero et al., NOVEL TRICYCLIC SESQUITERPENES FROM JUNIPERUS-THURIFERA L CHEMICAL CONFIRMATION OF THE DUPREZIANANE SKELETON, Tetrahedron letters, 37(21), 1996, pp. 3757-3760
Three tricyclic sesquiterpenes, sesquithuriferol (1), alpha- (3) and b
eta-duprezianene (4) were isolated from the essential oil of the wood
of Juniperus thurifera L. The structure and absolute configuration of
1 was established on the basis of 2D INADEQUATE and other 2D NMR spect
ra, as well as by chemical correlations. The structure of 3 and 4 were
elucidated by 2D NMR spectra and confirmed by their synthesis from to
syl-solvolysis rearrangement of 1. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science
