Irradiation of the charge-transfer complex between 1,2,3-triphenylcyclopropene (1) and fumaronitrile (7) and maleonitrile (8) leads to formation of bicyclo[2.1.0]pentane cycloaddition products (9, 10, 11) and the photoene product (12). These products were also formed when the reaction was photosensitized (triplet–triplet transfer). The structure of the adducts was established by analysis of 13C and 1Hmr spectra. Nuclear Overhauser effect studies were also useful. The triplet energies of 7 and 8 (ET ca. 50 kcal mol−1) were determined by studying the photosensitized isomerization as a function of sensitizer triplet energy. The thermal stability of the new bicyclo [2.1.0]pentanes has been studied, particularly with regard to the isomerization resulting from cleavage of the central [0] bond in these strained systems. The mechanism of the photocycloaddition reactions is discussed.

Direct irradiation of the charge-transfer complex between the cyclopropenes 3,3-dimethyl-1,2-diphenylcyclopropene (3) and 1,2,3-triphenylcyclopropene (7), and the electron deficient olefins dimethyl fumarate (5) and maleic anhydride (11) resulted in formation of the cycloadducts 6, 12–15 which are the bicyclo[2.1.0]pentane derivatives. These products were also formed when the reaction was photosensitized by triplet–triplet transfer. The structure of the adducts rests largely upon the interpretation of 13C and 1H nmr spectra. Nuclear Overhauser effect studies were used to assign stereochemistry. The thermal stability of these new bicyclo[2.1.0]-pentane derivatives has been examined, particularly with regard to the ring-flipping process and the rearrangement to the corresponding cyclopentene derivatives.

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.
