A new bisabolene from Stevia tomentosa

Nat Prod Commun. 2011 Sep;6(9):1225-8.

Abstract

The new sesquiterpene (1R,2R,3R,6R,7S)-1-acetoxy-2,3-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydrobisabolene (3) together with ten known terpenes and three known flavonoids were isolated from the aerial parts and from the roots of Stevia tomentosa. The structure of 3 follows from spectral studies, the relative chirality at C-3 follows from 1H NMR coupling constants comparison with the corresponding calculated values obtained by applying a generalized Karplus-type relationship to the dihedral angles of model compounds, and the absolute configuration is assumed in analogy to known (2R,3R,6R,7S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrobisabolen-1-one (2).
