Two 11,20-epoxybriaranes, including a known compound, juncenolide K (1), as well as a new metabolite, fragilide X (2), have been isolated from gorgonian Junceella fragilis collected off the waters of Taiwan. The absolute configuration of juncenolide K (1) was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis for the first time in this study and the structure, including the absolute configuration of briarane 2 was established on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and compared with that of model compound 1. One aspect of the stereochemistry of the known compound 1 was revised. Briarane 2 was found to enhance the generation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) release from RAW 264.7 cells.

The stems of Bursera multijuga afforded (-)-(1 S,3 E,7 R,8 R,11 E)-7,8-epoxycembra-3,11-dien-1-ol (1) and its acetate 2, together with cembrene A (3), nephthenol (4), and cembrenol (5). The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS, and X-ray diffraction. The conformational preference of flexible 1 was studied by molecular modeling at the DFT B3LYP/DGDZVP level of theory. Good agreement between calculated and experimental vibrational circular dichroism curves established the absolute configuration of 1. This is the first time that cembrane derivatives have been isolated from the genus Bursera.

Chemical investigation of the octocoral Briareum stechei, collected in the Ie Island, Okinawa, Japan, resulted in the isolation of a new briarane-type diterpenoid, briastecholide A (1), as well as the previously reported metabolites, solenolide C (2) and briarenolide S (3). The structures of briaranes 1–3 were characterized through spectroscopic analysis, and the absolute configuration of 2 was corroborated by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Briarane 3 exhibited bioactivity against the protein expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS).

The Absolute

From the endemic Cuban species Rauvolfia salicifolia GRISEB nine alkaloids were isolated of which the following seven had been already described: (+)-ajmalidine (I), (-)-reserpiline (II), (-)-isoreserpiline (III), (-)-isocarapanaubine (IV), (-)-ajmalicine (V), (+)-vellosimine (VI), and (+)-yohimbine (VII). The structure of (-)-raucubaine (VIII) had been previously determined by X-ray diffraction and the structure of the alkaloid (-)-raucubainine (IX) was suggested on the basis of its conversion to (-)-raucubaine (VIII). The absolute configuration of (-)-raucubaine and (-)-raucubainine was elucidated by CD spectroscopy.

The Absolute

On the basis of spectroscopic, particularly 1H NMR data, isosilerolide was assigned structure I, including the absolute configuration. The structure was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Isosilerolide represents a new stereoisomeric type of natural eudesmanolides, characterized as 5βH, 6αH, 7αH, 10αCH3-eudesman-6,12-olide. As shown by the chemical correlation of isosilerolide (I) with silerolide (III) and lasolide (X), the latter two natural lactones belong to this stereoisomeric group of eudesmanolides. Analysis of models and 1H NMR data shows that structures of some eudesman-6,12-olides, published by other authors, should be corrected.

Reaction of [Ru((R)-BINAP)(H)(MeCN)n(acetone)3–n](BF4) (where n = 0–3) (2) with 1 equiv of the olefin substrate methyl α-acetamidoacrylate (MAA) in acetone at room temperature immediately generated a mixture (72:28) of two diastereomers of the complex [Ru((R)-BINAP)(MeCN)(MAA(H))](BF4) (3). The olefin–hydride insertion reaction between 2 and MAA to generate 3 was regioselective, with transfer of the hydride to the β-olefinic carbon and transfer of ruthenium to the α-carbon in both diastereomers of 3. The two diastereomers of 3 differ by the absolute configuration at the α-carbon of MAA(H) ((SCα)-3 and (RCα)-3). The absolute configuration of the major ((SCα)-3) diastereomer was determined by X-ray diffraction in conjunction with NMR spectroscopic data. Protonolysis of the ruthenium–carbon bond in 3 and in the methyl α-acetamidocinnamate (MAC) analog ([Ru((R)-BINAP)(MeCN)((S)- MAC(H))](BF4) ((SCα)-4)) by addition of 2 equiv HBF4·Et2O in CH2Cl2 at room temperature was not stereospecific and did not occur with β-hydride elimination from the methyl or benzyl groups.Key words: ruthenium, BINAP, enantioselective, hydrogenation, catalysis.
