A new cembranoid diterpene from Sinularia flexibilis
A new optically active cembrane diterpene (m.p. 215 - 216'C) was isolated by vacuum liquid chromatography from the dichloromethane extract of a Philippine soft coral Sinularia Flexibilis. Microanalysis coupled with n.m.r. spectral data established a molecular formula of C20H32O7.A cembrane-type...

| Summary: | A new optically active cembrane diterpene (m.p. 215 - 216'C) was isolated by vacuum liquid chromatography from the dichloromethane extract of a Philippine soft coral Sinularia Flexibilis. Microanalysis coupled with n.m.r. spectral data established a molecular formula of C20H32O7.A cembrane-type skeleton was derived based on the IR, UV, and n.m.r. data and from other information obtained from the literature. The bicyclic variation of the cembrane skeleton was necessary to satisfy the calculated index of hydrogen deficiency.The 13C-n.m.r. spectrum revealed a ketone and a lactone carbonyl groups, and the aliphatic as well as the olefinic carbon atoms. The 1H-n.m.r. spectrum indicated aliphatic, olefinic as well as hydroxy protons. The ketone, lactone, hydroxy and olefinic functionalities were further indicated in the IR spectrum. One conjugated system was deduced from the UV spectrum.A complete assignment of the 1H-n.m.r. and 13C-n.m.r. was made possible from the C-H correlation and COSY spectrum. |
