Yq. Shi et al., Structure of sanggenon O, a diels-alder type adduct derived from a chalcone and a dehydroprenylated sanggenon-type flavanone from Morus cathayana, HETEROCYCLE, 54(2), 2001, pp. 639
The structure of sanggenon O, which was isolated from the Chinese crude dru
g "Sag-bai-pi" and the root bark of Chinese mulberry tree (Morus cathayana)
, was revised based on its spectral and chemical evidences. The compound is
regarded as a Diels-Alder type adduct produced with a chalcone and a 6-deh
ydroprenylflavanone forming an ether linkage between the 2'- and 3-position
s and its absolute configuration was 2S,3R3 "S,4 "R,5 "S.
