One known and two new glycerolipids have been isolated from a Sarcotragus sp. marine sponge. The gross structures were established based on NMR and MS analysis.

Neat chlorosulfonic acid reacts with anhydrous sodium tungstate to givetungstate sulfuric acid (TSA), a new dibasic inorganic solid acid in which two sulfuricacid molecules connect to a tungstate moiety via a covalent bond. A variety of oximeswere ox...

The synthesis of racemic and enantiomerically pure N-p-methylbenzyl-3- and N-p-chlorobenzylbenzamidoquinuclidinium bromides (6-8 and 9-11, respectively) is described. These compounds were prepared from racemic or enantiomerically pure 3-benzamidoquin...

The enantioselective synthesis of the title compound, using Meyers' bicyclic lactam methodology, is described. This compound and a few of its derivatives are useful intermediates in natural product synthesis.

An efficient, scaleable synthesis approach towards the spirocyclic oxindole analogue 1’-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-oxospiro[indoline-3,4’-piperidine]-5-carboxylic acid (1) is described. The key steps are dianion alkylation and cyclization of ethyl 2- ox...

Eight isomeric bis(2-pyridyloxy)naphthalenes have been prepared from reactions of 2-bromopyridine with the appropriate dihydroxynaphthalene and the products fully characterised by 1- and 2-D NMR spectroscopy.

During an investigation of antitumor substances from Nigella glandulifera Freyn et Sint. (Ranunculaceae) the cytotoxicity of two oleanane triterpene saponins isolated from the seeds of this species, kalopanaxsaponins A and I, was evaluated against He...

A new cerebroside, 1-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(2S,3R,8E)-2-[(2’R)-2-hydroxy- palmitoylamino]-8-octadecene-1,3-diol, along with aralia cerebroside and 1-O-β-D- glucopyranosyl-(2S,3S,4R,8E)-2-[(2’R)-2-hydroxybehenoylamino]-8-octadecene-1,3,4-triol were iso...

A simple, efficient, and general method has been developed for the synthesis ofvarious α-aminophosphonate derivatives 4a-4l by treatment of substituted benzaldehydes andaniline with bis(2-methoxyethyl)- or bis(2-ethoxyethyl) phosphite under microwave...

A novel triterpene, 2α,3β,20,23-tetrahydroxyurs-28-oic acid (1), was isolated from the aerial part of Centella asiatica. Its structure was elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including 2D-NMR spectra. It displayed no activity against Hela and A549 c...
