M. Bordoloi et al., SAPIDOLIDE-A - AN UNPRECEDENTED SPHERICAL CARBOCYCLIC LACTONE FROM BACCAUREA-SAPIDA SEED KERNELS - IS IT A MEROISOPRENOID, Tetrahedron letters, 37(37), 1996, pp. 6791-6792
A novel tetrahydrofurano-lactone meroisoprenoid (sapidolide A) 1 has b
een isolated from a tropical plant Baccaurea sapida, and its structure
has been determined on the basis of DEFT, H-1-H-1 COSY, H-1-C-13 COSY
, (+)-FABMS, low energy EIMS, and ion desorption chemical ionization m
ass spectrometry, and was confirmed by X-ray crystallography of its si
ngle crystal. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
