A. Ulubelen et al., NMR ASSIGNMENTS AND ABSOLUTE STEREOCHEMISTRY OF 2 GUAIANOLIDE SESQUITERPENES FROM TANACETUM-DENSUM SUBSP AMANI, Magnetic resonance in chemistry, 33(11), 1995, pp. 900-904
The guaianolide sesquiterpene pyrethroidinin (1) and the corresponding
ketone parishin A (2) were isolated from Tanacetum densum subsp, aman
i (Asteraceae). The absolute stereochemistry of 1 was established as (
1R, 3R, 6S, 7S, 10R) on the basis of the differential shielding in the
H-1 NMR spectra of the (-)- and (+)-O-methylmandelate esters. The str
ucture, including absolute stereochemistry, of 2 was confirmed by oxid
ation of 1 with Jones' reagent.
