M. Morihara et al., 2 NOVEL DIARYLHEPTANOID GLUCOSIDES FROM MYRICA-GALE VAR TOMENTOSA ANDABSOLUTE STRUCTURE OF PLANE-CHIRAL GALEON, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 45(5), 1997, pp. 820-823
From Myrica gale var. tomentosa, two new diarylheptanoids, myricatomen
tosides I and II, were isolated together with a plane-chiral diarylhep
tanoid, galeon. The absolute stereochemistry of (+)-galeon was determi
ned as R. Myricatomentoside I, was identified as the glucoside of myri
catomentogenin, a new diarylheptanoid of diphenyl ether type, and myri
catomentoside II, as the glucoside of 12-hydroxymyricanone.
