Ag. Berdin et al., 15-O-Deacetylrhaposerin and rhaserin - new components of a lactone mixturefrom Rhaponticum serratuloides, RUSS CHEM B, 50(3), 2001, pp. 537-542
As part of our continuing studies of lactones from the aerial part of the p
lant Rhaponticum serratuloides, 15-O-deacetylrhaposerin and new guaianolide
called rhaserin were isolated along with the well-known loliolide. The con
figuration of the C(17) asymmetric center in 15-O-deacetylrhaposerin was es
tablished by X-ray diffraction analysis. The molecular structure of rhaseri
n was determined based on the data from H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy (incl
uding 2D NMR spectroscopy) of this lactone and its 4,15-O-isopropylidene de
rivative.
