The aerial parts of Trixis pallida afforded seven known trixanolides (18-24) together with 17 new trixanolides (1-17). Their structures were determined by 1D and 2D NMR techniques, while the absolute configuration of the trixane skeleton was determined using the Mosher method and turned out to be enantiomeric to that reported using the Horeau method. This result is further discussed from the biosynthetic point of view.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
