ABSOLUTE STEREOSTRUCTURES OF REHMAGLUTIN-C AND GLUTINOSIDE ISOLATED FROM CHINESE REHMANNIAE-RADIX, THE DRIED ROOT OF REHMANNIA-GLUTINOSA LIBOSCH, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 43(7), 1995, pp. 1096-1100
A full account of-the structure elucidation of an iridoid lactone, reh
maglutin C, and a chlorinated tricyclic iridoid glucoside, glutinoside
, is presented. Rehmaglutin C (10) and glutinoside (11) were isolated
from Chinese Rehmanniae Radix, the dried root of Rehmannia glutinosa L
IBOSCH. from China, called Kan-jio in Japanese. The absolute stereostr
uctures 10 and 11 have been determined on the basis of chemical and ph
ysicochemical evidence which included application of the exciton chira
lity method for the allylic benzoyl derivative.
