Proof of structure is presented for another lignan of the thujaplicatin series, 2,3-dihydroxy-2-(4″-hydroxy-3″,5″-dimethoxybenzyl)-3-(4′-hydroxy-3′-methoxybenzyl)-butyrolactone (I) (dihydroxythujaplicatin methyl ether). Analytical and spectral (ultraviolet, infrared, and nuclear magnetic resonance) data on derivatives and degradation products, in addition to the parent compound, are presented.

Abstract The use of the chromous chloride-ethylenediamine (CrCl2-en) complex to speed dechlorination and minimize side-products has been explored for heptachlor metabolites and degradation products. Five pentachloro heptachlor derivatives are synthesized, and their nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectra are presented and discussed. Nuclear magnetic resonance data support the anti assignment of H- in the major products from CrCl2-en reduction of cyclodiene pesticides. The use of this reagent for possible development of chemical confirmatory tests for heptachlor metabolites and degradation products is also briefly discussed.

The structure of another guaiacyl–syringyl type lignan, which was previously separated from the hot-water extractive of western red cedar (Thujaplicata Donn), has now been determined as 2-hydroxy-2-(4″-hydroxy-3″,5″-dimethoxybenzyl)-3-(4′-hydroxy-3′-methoxybenzyl)-butyrolactone (III). This lignan is the third member of the thujaplicatin series and has been given the name of hydroxythujaplicatin methyl ether. Analytical data and degradational and spectral studies of the parent compound and its methylated derivatives are presented as proof of structure.

AbstractBased on previous work (7) a method to simultaneously determine vamidothion [I], vamidothion-sulfoxide [II] and vamidothion sulfone [III] in tobacco has been developed. The compounds are extracted with water/acetone/acetic acid from the tobacco, cleansed over an aluminium oxide column and then determined on the gas chromatograph with the specific sulphur detector. Rates of recovery are 70 % - 92 %, the determination level is 0.1 ppm. Mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance data of vamidothion [I], vamidothion-sulfoxide [ II ] and vamidothion-sulfone [III] are given.
