A simple and ecofriendly method was developed for the synthesis of arylmethylene[bis(5,5- dimethyl-3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexene-1-ones)] from the reaction of 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane- 1,3-dione and aromatic aldehydes in an aqueous media without any catalyst via Knoevenagel condensation followed by rapid Michael addition. No cyclization product was down to convert these enolic forms to xanthene deriva...

A methanol extract of lyophilized Brickellia cavanillesii was quantitatively analyzed using gas chromatographic (GC) techniques. The chromatographic methods employed were (i) GC-flame ionization detector (GC-FID), (ii) GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and (iii) purge and trap GC-MS (P&T GC-MS). Thirteen compounds were identified with a quality match of 90% and above using GC-MS. The compounds were...

Two new xanthones, 6-hydroxy-3,7-dimethoxy-8-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-6',6'-dimethyl-5'-hydroxy-4',5'-dihydropyrano(2',3':1,2)xanthone (1) and 6-hydroxy-3,7-dimethoxy-8-(2-oxo-3-methylbut-3-enyl)-6',6'-dimethyl-5'-hydroxy-4',5'-dihydropyrano(2',3':1,2)xanthone (2), have been isolated from the stems of Cratoxylum cochinchinense (Lour.) Blume. Their structures were established on the basis of spectro...

Chemical investigation on the roots of Cudrania fruticosa resulted in the isolation of two new xanthones, 1,6,7-trihydroxy-2-(1,1-dimethyl-2-propenyl)-3-methoxyxanthone (1) and 3,6,7-trihydroxy-1-methoxyxanthone (2), together with three known ones, 1,3,5-trihydroxy-4-(3-hydroxy-3-methylbutyl)xanthone (3), 1,3-dihydroxy-6,7-dimethoxyxanthone (4) and 3,5,6-trihydroxy-1-methoxyxanthone (5), respec...

The current analysis was carried out to determine the chemical components in leaves of R. minima (L.) DC. GC-MS methanolic extract Minima indicated presence 19 compounds. prevailing compounds were 1Pentadecene (14.31), alpha. Bisabolol (10.39%), 1Heptadecene (9.78%), Cyclohexene,4 (1,5dimethyl1,4hexadienyl (7.06%), 3Hexadecene (Z) (8.10%), Caryophyllene (6.58%), Neophytadiene (5.16%), Humulene ...

The aromas of cultivar Meeker red raspberry from Oregon and Washington were analyzed by aroma extract dilution analysis. Seventy-five aromas were identified [some tentatively (superscript T)] by mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-retention index; 53 were common to both, and 22 have not been previously reported in red raspberry. Twenty-one compounds had an equivalent odor impact in both: 2...
