A phenethyl bromo ester from Citharexylum fruticosum

Nat Prod Commun. 2010 Mar;5(3):399-402.

Abstract

A new compound, (2S)-p-hydroxyphenethyl 2-bromo-2-methyldodeconate (1) and 7,3'-dimethoxy-5,4'-dihydroxy flavone, together with lupeol and stigmasterol were isolated from the stem bark of Citharexylum fruticosum (Verbenaceae). The structures of the compounds were established on the basis of the interpretation of NMR (1H, 13C, COSY and HMBC) spectra, as well as low and high-resolution mass spectrometric data. In this paper, we report on the structure elucidation of 1.
