Complete assignment of the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of a new polyester sesquiterpene from Austroplenckia populnea.

Abstract

new polyester sesquiterpene (4-hydroxy-1,2,6,15-tetraacetyl-9-benzoylagarofuran), together with known friedelane triterpenes (friedelin, -friedelinol and 28-hydroxyfriedelin), was isolated from the leaves of Austroplenckia populnea. The structure and relative stereochemistry of the new ester were based on 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques including HMBC, HMQC and NOESY.
