Y. Fujiwara et al., Structure of three new carotenoids with a 3-methoxy-5-keto-5,6-seco-4,6-cyclo-beta end group from the seeds of Pittosporum tobira, CHEM PHARM, 49(8), 2001, pp. 985-987
Three new carotenoids with a 3-methoxy-5-keto-5,6-seco-4,6-cyclo-beta end g
roup (1-3) have been isolated from the seeds of Pittosporum tobira. Their s
tructures were elucidated by detailed analyses of nuclear magnetic resonanc
e and UV data.
