An aromatic compound from Ferula karatavica

An inducible Streptomyces gene cluster involved in aromatic compound metabolism.

Streptomyces setonii (ATCC 39116) is a thermophilic soil actinomycete capable of degrading single aromatic compounds including phenol and benzoate via the ortho-cleavage pathway. Previously, a 6.3-kb S. setonii DNA fragment containing a thermophilic catechol 1,2-dioxygenase (C12O) gene was isolated and functionally overexpressed in Escherichia coli (An et al., FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 195 (2001) 1...

Farnesyl hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives from Ferula kuhistanica.

Four new farnesyl hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives, kuhistanols E-H (1-4), were isolated from the roots of the Uzbekistan medicinal plant Ferula kuhistanica. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated based on spectroscopic and chemical evidence.

Sesquiterpenes from aerial parts of Ferula vesceritensis.

From the dichloromethane extract of aerial parts of Ferula vesceritensis (Apiaceae), 11 sesquiterpene derivatives were isolated. Among them five were compounds designated as 10-hydroxylancerodiol-6-anisate, 2,10-diacetyl-8-hydroxyferutriol-6-anisate, 10-hydroxylancerodiol-6-benzoate, vesceritenone and epoxy-vesceritenol. The six known compounds were identified as feselol, farnesiferol A, lapido...

Aromatic Iodides from Aromatic Organomercurials 13.2. Aromatic Bromides from Aromatic Organomercurials 13.3. Aromatic Chlorides from Aromatic Organomercurials 13.4. Aromatic Fluorides from Aromatic Organomercurials 13.5. Aromatic Nitriles from Aromatic Organomercurials 14. Improved Syntheses of Some Diaryliodonium Salts from Symmetric Diarylmercurials

This review reports some novel (or improved) synthetic methods for preparing a number of aromatic (carbocyclic and predominantly heterocyclic) organomercurials, particularly those derived from theophylline, theobromine and uracil, as well as some novel haloand cyano-demercuration reactions. We have also synthesized the first stable organic derivative of mercury(I), viz. 1,8-bis(acetoxydimercuri...
