“…In both the 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra, the distinct signals for an acetyl group (δ H 1.93, 3H, s; δ C 21.0 and 172.5), an α-substituted acrylic acid (δ H 5.66, 1H, s and 6.19, 1H, s; δ C 126.6, 143.5, and 170.0), a terminal double bond (δ H 4.63, 1H, s and 4.79, 1H, s; δ C 107.9 and 152.7), and two oxygenated carbons (δ H 5.39, td, J = 11.3 and 5.1 Hz; δ C 73.1, δ C 75.0) were observed. These 1D NMR data were similar to those of 5-hydroxycostic acid, differing only in the acetyl residue. HMBC correlations from H 3 -14 and H 2 -15 to C-5 and from H-8 to the acetyl carbonyl carbon revealed that the 2D structure of 12 is 8- O -acetyl-5-hydroxycostic acid.…”
