Ds. Rycroft et Wj. Cole, 15-acetoxypinguisone and a cyclocuparanol from the liverwort Cryptothallusmirabilis Malmb., J CHEM R-S, (9), 1998, pp. 600-601
The new sesquiterpenoid 15-acetoxypinguisone has been found as the dominant
constituent in the CDCl3 extract of a specimen of the liverwort Cryptothal
lus mirabilis and the structure elucidated using H-1 and C-13 NMR spectrosc
opy together with GC-MS and HRMS; a very minor constituent was assigned as
(2S,6S)-cyclo-(7S)-cuparan-(3S)-ol, but the major/minor roles were reversed
in a second specimen.
