The insect antifeedant and toxic activity of hydroxyperezone (1), its derivatives 2-9, along with 3-hydroxy- (10) and 6-hydroxythymoquinone (11) were studied against Spodoptera littoralis, Leptinotarsa decemlineata, and Myzus persicae. The antifeedant tests showed that L. decemlineata was the most sensitive insect, followed by M. persicae, while S. littoralis was not deterred by compounds 1-11....

The title compound, C(20)H(18)O(6), was prepared from resveratrol {systematic name: 5-[(E)-2-(4-hy-droxy-phen-yl)ethen-yl]ben-z-ene-1,3-diol}, which can be isolated from grapes, through triacetyl-ation with using acetic anhydride in pyridine. The two benzene rings are approximately coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 6.64 (14)°, and the three acet-oxy group are located on the same side of the ...

The asymmetric unit of title compound, 2C(2)H(8)N(+)·C(18)H(8)N(2)O(8) (2-), comprises one crystallographically independent dimethyl-ammonium cation and half of a 2,2'-(1,3,6,8-tetra-oxo-2,7-diaza-pyrene-2,7-di-yl)diacetate dianion. The anion lies on an inversion centre and the two carboxyl-ate groups are in trans positions based on the naphthaleneteracarb-oxy-lic diimide group. The crystal pac...

The title compound, C(31)H(38)O(10) [systematic name: (αR,4R,4aR,6aS,7R,8S,10R,11S)-methyl α,10-di-acet-oxy-4-(3-furyl)-4a,7,9,9-tetra-methyl-2,13-dioxo-1,4,4a,5,6,6a,7,8,9,10,11,12-dodeca-hydro-7,11-methano-2H-cyclo-octa-[f][2]benzo-pyran-8-acetate], was isolated from the seeds of Swietenia macrophylla. The mol-ecule contains four six-membered rings connected together in the shape of a bowl; o...
