Abstract:AuszugDie Kristallstruktur von Kavain C14H14O3, wurde röntgenographisch bestimmt. Die Kristalle sind monoklin mit α = 23,032 A, b = 9,430 A, c = 5,738 A und β = 104° 14', Ζ = 4, Raumgruppe P2i/o. Die Struktur wurde mit Hilfe der symbolischen Additionsmethode gelöst. Die Verfeinerung geschah durch Block-matrix-least-squares-Berechnungen einschließlich anisotroper Temperaturfaktoren. Der endgültige -R-Wert für die 1384 beobachteten Reflexe ist 0,076.

“…Here, we were interested in structure characterization as a basis for investigating structure-activity relationships. The structural data of only four of about 20 known α-pyrone kavalactones, methysticin (M) [21], kavain (K) [22], dihydrokavain (DK) [23] and desmethoxyyangonin (DMY, also referred to as dehydrokavain) [24] have been reported in the 1970s, but remained elusive due to the unclear absolute configurations and high residuals (≥ 7%). The structural details of the unique PM skeleton are not yet known.…”
Two alkaloids, (-)-pipermethystine and (-)-epoxypipermethystine, and two lactones, (+)-dihydromethysticin and yangonin, were isolated from the kava plant (Piper methysticum) and crystallographically authenticated.

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.
