A re-examination of cuticular components of Heliotropium filifolium allowed the isolation of four new compounds: 3'-hydroxy-2',2',6'-trimethyl-3H-spiro[1-benzo-furan-2,1'-cyclohexane]-5-carboxylic acid(2), methyl 3'-acetyloxy-2',2',6'-trimethyl-3H-spiro[1-benzofuran-2,1'-cyclohexane]-5-carboxylate (3), methyl 3'-isopentanoyloxy-2',2',6'-trimethyl-3H-spiro[1-benzofuran-2,1'-cyclohexane]-5-carbox...

The conformations of the N-H and C=O bonds in the SO(2)-NH-CO-C group of the title compound (N4BPSTMAA), C(11)H(14)BrNO(3)S, are trans to each other, similar to what is observed in N-(4-chloro-phenyl-sulfon-yl)-2,2,2-trimethyl-acet-amide (N4CPSTMAA) and 2,2,2-trimethyl-N-(4-methyl-phenyl--sulfon-yl)acetamide (N4MPSTMAA). The bond para-meters in N4BPSTMAA are similar to those in N4CPSTMAA, N4MPS...

The aromas of cultivar Meeker red raspberry from Oregon and Washington were analyzed by aroma extract dilution analysis. Seventy-five aromas were identified [some tentatively (superscript T)] by mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-retention index; 53 were common to both, and 22 have not been previously reported in red raspberry. Twenty-one compounds had an equivalent odor impact in both: 2...

In the title compound, C(27)H(29)FN(2)O, the piperidine ring has a twisted boat conformation and all ring substituents occupy equatorial positions. The dihedral angle formed between the phenyl rings is 66.71 (12)°, and the phenyl rings form dihedral angles of 46.60 (13) and 43.75 (13)° with the fluoro-benzene ring, which occupies a position coplanar to the meth-oxy(methyl-idene)amine residue [N...

The dihydro-pyrimidine ring of the title compound, C(13)H(15)ClN(2)S, adopts an envelope conformation with five almost coplanar atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.054 Å) and the C atom bearing the two methyl substituents deviating from this plane by 0.441 (2) Å. The best plane through the five almost coplanar atoms forms a dihedral angle of 89.56 (5)° with the benzene ring. The crystal packing is char...

Inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase, advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formation, and oxidative stress by isolated active constituents of Osmanthus fragrans flowers (9,12-octadecadienoic acid and 4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexenyl)-3-buten-2-one) and their structural analogues were evaluated. 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid was 10.02 and 22.21 times more active against α-amylase and α-gluco...
