Amoenolide K and Amoenolide K 19-Acetate, Two Grindelane Peroxides from Amphiachyris amoena. Isolation, Structure Determination, and Preparation of Amoenolide K from Amoenolide A by Photochemical Oxygenation

Two new 9,13-diepoxy labdane diterpenes, amoenolide K [1] and its 19-acetate [2], were isolated from the aerial parts of the composite Amphiachyris amoena and their structures were established by spectral methods, especially high-field nmr spectroscopy. Amoenolide K [1] was prepared from amoenolide...

Description
Summary:Two new 9,13-diepoxy labdane diterpenes, amoenolide K [1] and its 19-acetate [2], were isolated from the aerial parts of the composite Amphiachyris amoena and their structures were established by spectral methods, especially high-field nmr spectroscopy. Amoenolide K [1] was prepared from amoenolide A [3] by singlet oxygen addition via the ene reaction. A study was made of the ene reaction products with amoenolide K triacetate [5] which showed them to arise from stereospecific oxygen addition to the 8,9-double bond, with the exception of the sterically hindered beta-side at C-9, for which no products were isolated.
