H. Kikuzaki et al., LC-MS ANALYSIS AND STRUCTURAL DETERMINATION OF NEW AMIDES FROM JAVANESE LONG PEPPER (PIPER-RETROFRACTUM), Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry, 57(8), 1993, pp. 1329-1333
Amides in a CH2Cl2 extract from the fruits of Piper retrofractum were
detected by HPLC/APCI-MS. Seven new unsaturated amides, together with
six known ones, were isolated, and their structures were determined to
be N-isobutyl-2E,4E,12Z-octadecatrienamide (1), N-isobutyl-2E,4E,14Z-
eicosatrienamide (2), 1-(octadeca-2E,4E,12Z-trienoyl)piperidine (3), 1
-(eicosa-2E,4E,14Z-trienoyl)piperidine (4), 1-(octadeca-2E,4E-dienoyl)
piperidine (5), 1-(eicosa-2E,4E-dienoyl)piperidine (6), and 1-(eicosa-
2E,14Z-dienoyl)piperidine (7) on the basis of chemical and spectroscop
ic evidence.
