Abstract:
The absolute stereostructures of trangmolins A–F ( 1 – 6 ), limonoids with three new and one known topologies of the rings A and B, were unambiguously determined by NMR spectroscopic investigations, single‐crystal XRD analysis, and quantum‐chemical electronic circular dichroism calculations. Compounds 1 – 3 contain a hexahydro‐1 H ‐inden‐4‐one motif, compound 4 comprises a hexahydro‐2,6‐methanobenzofuran‐7‐one cage, and compound 5 consists of a hexahydro‐ 2H ‐2,8‐epoxychromene scaffold. The C1−C30 linkage in 1 – 3 and the C3−C30 connection in 4 form two unprecedented types of ring A/B‐fused carbobicyclic cores: viii and ix . The oxidative cleavage of the C2−C3 bond in 5 and heterocyclization in 4 and 5 constitute the unprecedented tricyclic 6/6/5 ring A/B 1 /B 2 ‐ and 6/5/6 ring A 1 A 2 /B‐fused topologies, respectively, which are uncovered, for the first time, in the construction of limonoid architectures. The diverse cyclization patterns of 1 – 6 reveal an unparalleled structural plasticity of rings A and B in limonoid biosynthesis.
