A theoretical and experimental study to unequivocal structural assignment of tetrahydroquinoline derivatives

The tetrahydroquinoline derivatives can be easily synthesized through Povarov reaction and have several important biological activities. This work describes a comparative study for the unequivocal assignment of molecular structure of different tetrahydroquinoline derivatives, through a complete analysis of NMR 1D and 2D NMR spectra (1H, 13C, COSY, HSQC, and HMBC), and the correlation this data with theoretical calculations of energy-minimization and chemical shift (δ), employing the theory level of DFT/B3LYP with set of the cc-pVDZ basis. For these derivatives the experimental analyses and the theoretical model adopted were sufficient to obtain a good description of its structures, and these results can be used to assign the structure of various others tetrahydroquinoline derivatives. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.

Determination of myricetin derivatives in Chrysobalanus icaco L. (Chrysobalanaceae)

A fração flavonoídica do extrato hidroalcoólico de folhas de Chrysobalanus icaco L. (Chrysobalanaceae), que são largamente utilizadas na medicina tradicional do Norte do Brasil para controlar a glicemia de pacientes diabéticos, foi caracterizada. Miricetina-3-O-glucuronídeo (miricitrina) e quercitrina, entre outros derivados de miricetina minoritários, foram evidenciados por análises com sistemas CLAE/DAD e CLAE/EM

Novel anthraquinone derivatives produced by Pestalotiopsis guepinii, an endophytic of the medicinal plant Virola michelii (Myristicaceae)

Um novo derivado de antraquinona, denominado guepinone (1), juntamente com as conhecidas substâncias isossulocrina (2) e cloroissosulocrina (3) foram isolados de uma cultura em arroz de Pestalotiopsis guepinii, um fungo endofitico de Virola michelii. Os compostos foram identificados pela análise de seus dados espectrométricos de RMN 1D e 2D e EM. A atividade antimicrobiana dos compostos isolados foi avaliada e a cloroisossulcrina (3) foi a mais ativa.

Two Dibenzylbutyrolactol derivatives and other chemical constituents from Aristolochia peltato-deltoidea

Do extrato hexânico das partes aéreas de Aristolochia peltato-deltoidea Hoehne (Aristolochiaceae) foram isolados duas novas lignanas epiméricas do tipo dibenzilbutirolactol, rel-(8R, 8 S, 9S)-3,4-dimetoxi-3 ,4 -metilenodioxi-9b-etoxi- e rel-(8R, 8 S, 9R)-3,4-dimetoxi-3 ,4 -metilenodioxi-9a-etoxi-lignanas-8.8 ,9.O.9 , além da neolignana benzofurânica eupomatenóide-7, a-tocoferilquinona, b-sitosterol e estigmasterol. Do extrato clorofórmico foram isoladas duas lignanas dibenzilbutirolactonas diasteroisoméricas: rel-(8R, 8 R)- e rel-(8R, 8 S)-3,4-dimetoxi-3 ,4 -metilenodioxi-9-oxo-lignanas-8.8 ,9.O.9 . A composição química das frações apolares do extrato hexânico também foi analisada por CG/EM. Dentre os componentes detectados, dez foram identificados. As estruturas dos compostos isolados foram elucidadas utilizando-se métodos espectrométricos.

Thermoplastic polyesters and Co-polyesters derived from vegetable oil: synthesis and optimization of melt polycondensation for medium and long chain poly(omega-hydroxyfatty acid)s and their ester derivatives

The synthesis of a series of omega-hydroxyfatty acid (omega-OHFA) monomers and their methyl ester derivatives (Me-omega-OHFA) from mono-unsaturated fatty acids and alcohols via ozonolysis-reduction/crossmetathesis reactions is described. Melt polycondensation of the monomers yielded thermoplastic poly(omega-hydroxyfatty acid)s [-(CH2)(n)-COO-](x) with medium (n = 8 and 12) and long (n = 17) repeating monomer units. The omega-OHFAs and Me-omega-OHFAs were all obtained in good yield (>= 80%) and purity (>= 97%) as established by H-1 NMR, Fourier Transform infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR), mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses. The average molecular size (M-n) and distribution (PDI) of the poly(omega-hydroxyfatty acid)s (P(omega-OHFA)s) and poly(omega-hydroxyfatty ester) s (P(Me-omega-OHFA) s) as determined by GPC varied with organo-metallic Ti(IV) isopropoxide [Ti(OiPr)(4)] polycondensation catalyst amount, reaction time and temperature. An optimization of the polymerization process provided P(omega-OHFA) s and P(Me-omega-OHFA) s with M-n and PDI values desirable for high end applications. Co-polymerization of the long chain (n = 12) and medium chain (n = 8) Me-omega-OHFAs by melt polycondensation yielded poly(omega-hydroxy tridecanoate/omega-hydroxy nonanoate) random co-polyesters (M-n = 11000- 18500 g mol(-1)) with varying molar compositions.
