S. Leclercq et al., Five new furanocembrenoids from the venom of the ant Crematogaster brevispinosa ampla from Brazil, TETRAHEDR L, 41(5), 2000, pp. 633-637
Five new furanocembrenoids (3-7) were isolated from the Dufour gland secret
ion of the Brazilian ant Crematogaster brevispinosa ampla. The structure of
the major component was established by a detailed high-field 1D and 2D NMR
study as the dibutanoate 3. Compounds 4 and 5 were shown to be the two iso
meric monoacetate monobutanoates corresponding to 3, whereas 6 and 7 are th
e two isomeric monohydroxy monobutanoates. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier S
