The macrocyclic substance robustol trimethyl ether (2) has been synthesized by an unambiguous method. ��� During a study of the reactions of model compounds a new synthesis of 1,14-bis-(3?,5?-dimethoxyphenyl)tetradecane (4) has been developed.

Preparation of a number of intermediates for the synthesis of (�)-mopanol trimethyl ether is described, together with exploratory reactions with model compounds, and especially with 7-methoxyflavanone-2'-carboxylic acid. 7-Methoxyflavan-4-ol, the initial product from reduction of 7-methoxyflavanone-2'-carboxylic acid with complex metal hydrides, was found to undergo facile dehydration to a novel intramolecular dibenzyl ether [the cyclic ether (19)*]. It was noted that the methoxymethyl group, which may be used as a protecting group for phenols, did not survive the conditions of methylation with dimethyl sulphate and potassium carbonate in acetone.

Reduction of three 1?-oxoisochromeno(4?,3?:2,3)chromones [chromeno(3?,2?: 3,4)isocoumarins] with lithium aluminium hydride has been shown to yield 3(3?)-hydroxyisochromano(4?,3?:2,3)chromans (hemiketals). The structures of these compounds (the 7-methoxy, 7,6?,7?-trimethoxy, and parent hemiketals) were unequivocally established by N.M.R., mass spectral, and chemical data. The hemiketals contain the peltogynol ring system, and one of them is the 7,6?,7?- trimethyl ether of the structure originally proposed for this leucoanthocyanidin by Robinson and Robinson. The hemiketals were obtained as mixtures of cis- and trans- isomers which underwent equilibration in deuterochloroform or in wet chloroform, and configurations were assigned to the isomers from a detailed study of their N.M.R. spectra. The hemiketals suffered dehydration when heated further in deuterochloroform, and gave the isochromeno(4?,3?:2,3)chromens (flav-2-enes), which immediately gave the flavylium salts with cold acids in air. The flavylium salts were also formed very readily from the hemiketals and acid, and the trimethoxy- henliketal gave the peltogynidin trimethyl ether cation. In connection with the mechanism of formation of the hemiketals from chromenoisocoumarins it was found that 2?-hydroxychalcones are reduced by sodium borohydride to flav-3-enes, and these readily give anthocyanidins when treated with acid. Parallel biological reduction of chalcones is clearly possible and a plausible, new, biosynthetic pathway leading directly from 2?-hydroxychalcones to anthocyanidins and catechins is proposed. Flav-3-enes are valuable intermediates for preparation of flavans, flavan derivatives, and flavylium salts, and the new synthesis makes flav-3-enes readily accessible in one stage from 2?-hydroxychalcones.

<div>Here, we newly propose the structure of protoaculeine B, an N-terminal moiety of the marine peptide toxin aculeine B, as possessing the cis-disubstituted tetrahydro-beta-carboline framework. We prepared two truncated model compounds that lack long-chain polyamine by one-step Pictet-Spengler reaction of tryptophan, and compared the NMR and mass spectra and chemical reactivity with those of natural protoaculeine B. The synthetic models reproduced the profiles of the natural product well, which was conclusive for the structural revision.</div>
