The configuration and stereochemistry of methyl 11α-bromo-12-oxopodocarpan-19-oate 1 have been determined by application of the nuclear Overhauser effect. The dehydrobromination of 1 with dimethylacetamide–calcium carbonate results in a predominant 1,4-elimination process which for short reaction periods yields the non-conjugated ketone 8 and for long reaction periods yields the conjugated ketone 2. The 1,2-elimination of hydrogen bromide is a minor process and takes place to the extent of 20–22%. The ketone 8 has been oxidatively cleaved to the keto-acid 11, a valuable intermediate for the synthesis of bicyclic diterpenoids.

Low temperature ozonolysis of methyl podocarpate in methanol – methylene chloride results in the formation in high yield of 8β-hydroperoxy-8α-hydroxy-(13 → 17)-pentanorlabd-9(11)-en-12,19-dioic acid 19-methyl ester 8 → 12-lactone 4. Ozonolysis followed by hydrogen peroxide work-up gives the lactone-acid 14a, whilst ozonolysis followed by reduction with sodium borohydride gives keto-acid 3a and lactones 16 and 17 derived from peroxide 4 together with δ-lactone 19 possessing all 18 carbon atoms of methyl podocarpate. The lactone 16 is shown to possess an 8β-configuration by application of the nuclear Overhauser effect.

The conformational properties of the Sarmesin analogues [N-MeAib1, Tyr(Me)4]ANGII and [N-MeAib1, Tyr(Me)4, Ile8]ANGII in hexadeutero-dimethysulfoxide were investigated by Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE) Enhancement Studies. Cis-trans isomers (ratio 1 : 6) due to restricted rotation of the His-Pro bond were observed. Interresidue interactions between the His Cα proton and the two Pro Cδ protons revealed that the major isomer was the trans.

The fungus strain SCSIO 40433 was isolated from an Arctic-derived glacier sediment sample and characterized as Tolypocladium cylindrosporum. A new compound, cylindromicin (1), and seven known secondary metabolites (2–8) were isolated from this strain. The chemical structures of these compounds were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses. Cylindromicin (1) featured a 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran skeleton. The absolute configuration of compound 1 was assigned via interpretation of key Nuclear Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy (NOESY) correlations and Electronic Circular Dichroism (ECD) calculation. Cylindromicin (1) exhibited significant tyrosinase inhibition activity. This study highlights Polar fungi as a potential resource for new bioactive natural products.

A tricyclic diene, traversiadiene, isolated from cultures of Cercosporatraversiana has been shown to have the structure and stereochemistry of the previously postulated hydrocarbon intermediate on the biosynthetic pathway to traversianal (1). Detailed:1H and 13C magnetic resonance studies, including homo- and heteronuclear correlation spectra, led to the gross structure, and the stereochemistry was established through a series of nuclear Overhauser effect difference spectra. Keywords: diterpene, traversiadiene, 1H and 13C magnetic resonance spectra.
