The structures of three new briaran based diterpenes are reported from the gorgonian coral Junceela gemmacea. Their structures were deduced on the basis of extensive one- and two-dimensional high-field n.m.r. experiments. The metabolites were (1R,2R,5Z,7R,8S,9R,10R,11R,14R,17S)-2,14-diacetoxy-8,17:11,20-bisepoxy-9-hydroxybriar-5-en-18-one (3), (1R,2R,5Z,7R,8S,9R,10R,11Z,14R,17S)-2,14-diacetoxy-8,17-epoxy-9-hydroxybriara-5,11-dien-18-one (4), and 1R,2R,5Z,7R,8S,9R,10R,12R,14R,17S)-2,14-diacetoxy-8,17-epoxy- 9,12-dihydroxybriara-5,11(20)-dien-18-one (5). The compounds are closely related to recently reported metabolites from Briareum species of soft corals.

We investigate by electrical transport the field-induced superconducting state (FISC) in the organic conductor λ- (BETS) 2 FeCl 4. Below 4 K, antiferromagnetic-insulator, metallic, and eventually superconducting (FISC) ground states are observed with increasing in-plane magnetic field. The FISC state survives between 18 and 41 T, and can be interpreted in terms of the Jaccarino-Peter effect, where the external magnetic field compensates the exchange field of aligned Fe 3+ ions. We further argue that the Fe 3+ moments are essential to stabilize the resulting singlet, two-dimensional superconducting state. Here we provide experimental evidence indicating that this state, as well as the insulating antiferromagnetic ground state, is extremely sensitive to hydrostatic pressure.

AbstractAn ultraviolet (UV)-absorbing compound of unknown identity is present in the aqueous humor of geese and other birds flying at high altitudes. A goose aqueous humor extract, that was believed to contain the UV protective compound which was designated as “compound X”, was fractionated and examined using a variety of spectroscopic techniques including LC-MS and high field one- and two dimensional-NMR methods. A series of compounds were identified but none of them appeared to be the UV protective “compound X”. It may be that the level of the UV protective compound in goose aqueous humor is much less than the compounds identified in our investigation, or it may have been degraded by the isolation and chromatographic purification protocols used in our investigations.

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.

The 500 MHz 1H and 125 MHz 13C spectra of ergosteryl and 7-dehydrocholesteryl acetate were recorded in C6D6 and CDCl3 and assigned using two-dimensional NMR techniques. It is shown that incorporation of an Fe(CO)3 or a Rh(acac) moiety onto the ring B diene system affects the chemical shifts of neighbouring protons and carbons. These changes are discussed in terms of the anisotropic properties of the organometallic fragments.
