The structure and relative stereochemistry of four new metabolites from Briareum steckei has been deduced from 2D-n.m.r. experiments at high field, and confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray determination of a minor metabolite. The new compounds are non-halogenated briaran derivatives: (1R*,2S*,3R*,5Z,7S*,8(17)Z,l0R*, llR *,12S*,14S*)- 3,14-diacetoxy- 11,12-epoxy- 18-oxobriara-5,8(17)-dien-2-yl butanoate (3), its 3-deacetoxy derivative (4), (1R*,2R*,4R*,5Z,7S*,8(17)Z,10R*, 11R *,12S*,14S*)-4,14-diacetoxy-11,12-epoxy-18-oxobriara-5,8(17)-dien-2-yl butanoate (5) and the related 2-propanoate (6). Single-crystal X-ray determinations were performed on (5) and (6).

Three new diterpenes have been isolated from soft corals of the genus Efflatounaria (Coelenterata, Octocorallia, Alcyonacea, Xeniidae). The structure of the first compound (4) was elucidated on the basis of high-field 1H n.m.r. spectroscopy while that of the second metabolite (5) was determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The third diterpene (6) was structurally related to (5), and its structure was confirmed by chemical transformation. All three diterpenes can be derived from xenicin-type precursors, by cleavage and recyclization.

.A novel sesquiterpene (1 Z,2R*,4R*,7S*,11S*)-3,3,7,11-tetramethyltricyclo[6.3.0.02,4]undec-1(8)-en-4-ol (3) was isolated from the soft coral Xenia novae-britanniae. Its structure was tentatively deduced by n.m.r. spectroscopy, and the structure with relative stereochemistry was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Investigation of a Xenia species afforded the known metabolite waixenicin -A previously isolated from Anthelia edmondsoni .

The isolation of '9-deacetoxyxenicin' [systematic name: (1R*,4aS*,7E,11aS*,1'R*,2'R*)-1-acetoxy-4-(1',2'-diacetoxy-4'-methylpent-3'-enyl)-7-methy1-11-methylene-1,4a,5,6,9,10,11,11a-octahydrocyclonona[c]pyran] (2) from Xenia crassa and a further cyclized diterpene (6) from Xenia viridis are described. The structure of (2) was derived from n.m.r. spectroscopic comparison with xenicin (1), whilst the structure of (6) was determined by a single-crystal X-ray analysis when spectroscopy failed to afford an unambiguous structure.

Laurencia tenera has been shown to contain two novel sesquiterpenes. The structure of the less abundant metabolite (3) was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction as (1S,2R,4S,5R,6R,8S,9R)-4,8-dibromo-2,5,6,9-tetramethyltricyclo[7.2.0.01.6] undecane-3-one.‡ The more abundant, but less stable metabolite (4) was investigated by extensive high-field N.M.R. spectroscopy. Its structure is proposed as (1S*,2R*,4R*,5R*,6R*,8R*)-4-bromo-2,5,6-trimethyl-11-methylenetricyclo[6.2.1.01.6]undecan-3-one.§ The sesquiterpene (3) is isomeric with the known metabolite perforatone (5).

Two isomeric 7,8-epoxycembra-3,11,15-trien-16,2-olides have been isolated from different species of the soft coral genus Efflatounaria. The structure of each was deduced spectroscopically , and the relative stereochemistry of one was determined by X-ray crystallography. The absolute stereochemistry of each cembranolide was obtained by chemical correlation with known compounds.

The structures and relative stereochemistry of nine new briaran -based diterpenes from a Briareum species have been deduced from 2-D n.m.r. experiments at high field, and nuclear Overhauser effect experiments. The new compounds are (1R*2R*,3R*,5Z,7S*,8S*,9S*,10S*,11R*,-12S*,14S*,17R*)-2,3,14-triacetoxy-8,17:11,12-bisepoxy-9-hydroxybriar-5-en-18-one (5), (1R* ,2R* ,3R* ,5Z*,7S*,8S* ,9S*,10S*,11R*,12S*, 14S*, 17R*)-3,14-diacetoxy-2-butyryloxy-8,17:11,12-bisepoxy-9-hydroxybriar-5-en-18-one (6),(1R*,2R*,3R*,5Z,7S*,8S*,9S*,10S*,11R*,12S*,14S)-2,3,14-triacetoxy-11,12-epoxybriara-5,8(17)-dien-18-one(17),(1S*,2S*,4R*,5Z,7S*,8S*,9S*,10S*,2,4,9.12-tetraacetoxy-8,17-epoxy-11-hydroxybriara-5,13-dien-18-one (8),(1S*, 2S*,4R*, 5Z,7S*,8S*,9S*,10S*, 11S*, 12R*,13Z,17R*)-2,4,9-triacetoxy-8,17-epoxy-11,12-dihydroxybriara-5,13-dien-18-one (9), (1S *,2S*,4R*,5Z,7S*,8S*,9S*,10S*, 11S *,12R*,13Z,17R*)-2,4,9,12-tetraacetoxy-8,17-epoxy-11-hydroxybriara-5,13-dien-18-one(10),(1Si,2S*,5Z,7S',8S*,-9S*,10S*,11R*,12R*,13Z,17R*)-2,12-diacetoxy-8,17-epoxy-9-hydroxybriara-5,13-dien-18-one(ll), (1R*,2R*,3Si,5Z,7S* ,8S* ,9S* ,10S* ,11Z,14S*,17R*)-2,14-diacetoxy-3-butyryloxy-8,17-epoxy-9-hydroxybriara-5,11-dien-18-one (12) and (1R *,2R*,3S*,5Z,7S*,8S*,9S*,10S*,11Z,-14S',17R*)-2,3,14-triacetoxy-8,17-epoxy-9-hydroxybriara-5,11-dien-18-one (13). In addition to the nine new briaran derivatives, the same coral afforded two cladiellane derivatives (1R*,4R*,5S*,6R*,8R*,12R*,13R*,14R*)-cladiellane-4,8,12-triol (14) and its 4-acetoxy derivative (15). Aknowncembranoid diterpene (1R *,4R*,ZE,7E,l1E)-cembra-2,7,11-trien-4-ol(21) wasalso isolated together with an unprecedented perhydrophenanthrene-based diterpene (20): (1R *, 1aR*,4S*,4aR*,5aR*,8aR*)-4-isopropyl-l,8a-dimethyl-5-methylenetetradecahydrophenanthren-1-ol. The extraordinary biosynthetic ability of soft corals from the genus Briareum is once more revealed.

An crystal-growth technique for single crystal x-ray structure analysis of high-pressure forms of hydrogen-bonded crystals is proposed. We used alcohol mixture (methanol: ethanol = 4:1 in volumetric ratio), which is a widely used pressure transmitting medium, inhibiting the nucleation and growth of unwanted crystals. In this paper, two kinds of single crystals which have not been obtained using a conventional experimental technique were obtained using this technique: ice VI at 1.99 GPa and MgCl<sub>2</sub>·7H<sub>2</sub>O at 2.50 GPa at room temperature. Here we first report the crystal structure of MgCl2·7H2O. This technique simultaneously meets the requirement of hydrostaticity for high-pressure experiments and has feasibility for further in-situ measurements.

AbstractThe new compounds LiK[C(CN)3]2 and Li[C(CN)3]·½ (H3C)2CO were synthesized and their crystal structures were determined. Li[C(CN)3]·½ (H3C)2CO crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Ima2 (no. 46) with the cell parameters a=794.97(14), b=1165.1(2) and c=1485.4(3) pm, while LiK[C(CN)3]2 adopts the monoclinic space group P21/c (no. 14) with the cell parameters a=1265.7(2), b=1068.0(2) and c=778.36(12) pm and the angle β=95.775(7)°. Single crystals of K[C(CN)3] were also acquired, and the crystal structure was refined more precisely than before corroborating earlier results.
