Chemical investigation of the ethanol extract of the aerial parts of Hydrangea macrophylla collected in the Sichuan Province of China resulted in the isolation of two new cyanogenic glucosides. Their structures were elucidated as [(2R)-2-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-2-(3,4-dimethoxy-phenyl)] acetonitrile (1) and {(2R)-2-[α-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->6)β-D-glucopyranosyloxy]-2-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-phenyl)}a...

Reactions of [(η(6)-cymene)Ru(μ-Cl)Cl]2 with acylpyrazolone ligands HQ' (HQ' in general; in detail, HQ(CH2Cl) = 2-chloro-1-(5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)ethanone), HQ(hex) = 1-(5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)heptan-1-one), HQ(nPe) = 1-(5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-3,3-dimethylbutan-1-one)), in the presence of base, gave the corresponding [(η(6)-cymene...

Naturally occurring coumarins possess antibacterial and antifungal properties. In this study, these natural and synthetic coumarins were used to evaluate their antifungal activities against Aspergillus flavus, which produces aflatoxins. In addition to control antifungal activities, antiaflatoxigenic properties were also determined using a high-performance liquid chromatography in conjunction wi...

The relationship between the antibacterial activity and structure of 9-O,9'-O-demethyl (+)-virgatusin (Virg 3) was examined. The conversion of hydroxy groups on the 9 and 9' positions to amino groups increased the activity. It was found that the 3'-methoxy group was more important for higher activity than the 4'-methoxy group on the 7'-phenyl group, and that the 3,4-methylenedioxy group on the ...

A novel pyrazolo-enaminones, bipyrazoles and bipyrazolopyridines from 1-(5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)butane-1,3-dione 4-methyl-2-phenyl-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-3,6(3aH,7H)-dione have been synthesized by assisted heating with microwave radiation without any catalyst. The pyridine pyrazole ring formation has developed easily accessible enamino keto esters formylation followed i...

The title Schiff base compound, C(15)H(15)N(3)O(4), was prepared from a condensation reaction of 3-eth-oxy-4-hydroxy-benz-aldehyde and 3-nitro-phenyl-hydrazine. The mol-ecule is nearly planar; the dihedral angle between the hydroxy-benzene ring and the nitro-benzene ring is 6.57 (7)°. O-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding helps to stabilize the crystal structure.

In the title compound, C(18)H(18)O(5), the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 55.2 (3)°. The ethyl acrylate linkage is planar and forms dihedral angles of 21.3 (3) and 41.0 (3)°, respectively, with the hydroxy-phenyl and methoxy-phenyl rings. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked into zigzag chains along the b axis by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

A phytochemical investigation in plantlets of the Brazilian medicinal tree Virola surinamensis resulted in the isolation and structural determination of four new compounds: 3-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-(11'-piperonyl-n-undecyl)-butenolide; 3-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-(7'-piperonyl-n-heptyl)-butanolide; 9'-(3,4-methylenedioxy-phenyl)-nonanoic acid and 13'-(3,4-methylene-dioxyphenyl)-tridecanoic acid. Thirteen ...

In the present work, we report a convenient synthesis of 5- and 7-substituted-4-phenyl coumarins. contrast to previous results obtained with 4-alkylcoumarins, nicotinoylation 5,7-dihydroxy-4-phenylcoumarin nicotinoyl benzotriazole or azide selectively provides 5-O protected ester. The combination reaction followed by tosylation-denicotinoylation yields 5-hydroxy-7-tosyloxy-coumarin derivative, ...
