At. Kulyyasov et al., CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR-STRUCTURE OF SUBCHRYSINE (3-O-ACETYLRIDENTINE),A NEW GERMACRANOLIDE FROM ARTEMISIA-SUBCHRYSOLEPIS, Russian chemical bulletin, 47(7), 1998, pp. 1390-1394
A new sesquiterpenoid lactone was isolated from terrestrial parts of A
rtemisia subchrysolepis Filat. and studied by X-ray diffraction analys
is and CD spectroscopy. This compound was called subchrysine and ident
ified as -hydroxygermacra-4,10(14),11(13)-trien-12,6-olide. Pronounced
temperature dependence of the H-1 and C-13 NMR spectra of subchrysine
was observed. The results of conformational analysis of subchrysine b
y quantum-chemical (PM3) and molecular mechanics (MMX) methods are als
o presented.
