Abstract-A new limonoid, brownin C, was isolated from the bark of Harrisonia brownii, and a new limonoid, brownin G, from the wood of the same plant. Their structures were determined by spectral techniques and X-ray crystal structure analysis.
INTRODUCIION
A computer-generated perspective drawing of the final X-ray model of brownin C (1) is given in Fig. 1. From the above, the structure of brownin C was concluded to be as shown in formula 1. Brownin G (2) was obtained as prisms. Its molecular formula was determined as CZ9H340, l by mass measurement (FAB-MS m/z 581 [M+Na]+ and 559 [M+H]+) and from the i3C NMR spectrum. Its IR and UV spectra showed absorption bands due to a lactone group (v,, 1787 cm-i) and a /3-substituted furan ring (&,,,, 236 nm). The ‘HNMR spectrum of 2 showed signals due to four tertiary methyls at 6 1.28 (Me-lo), 1.30 (Me+, 1.38 (Me-4) RESULTS AND DI!SCUSION and 1.72 (Me-8), a secondary methyl at 6 1.16 (Me-13) and an acetoxyl at 62.03 (OAc-17). The results of Brownin C (1) was obtained as prisms. Its molecular ‘H-‘HCOSY indicated the presence of two isolated formula was determined as C2,HJ,,0i0 by high-resolustructural units, n-C(9)H-C(1 l)H,-C(12)H-C(13)Htion mass spectroscopy. Its IR and UV spectra showed absorption bands due to lactone (v,, 1785 cm-r) and (C(18)H3tC(17)H-¤ and n-C(2)H,-C(3)H-¤, in 2. The features of the *H and 13CNMR spectra of 2 were olefin (v, 1655 cm- ‘) groups and a /?-substituted furan ring (A,. 257 nm). ‘H-‘H 2DCOSY suggested the pre- virtually the same as those of brownin E (4) [2], except that the carbonyl function at C-17 in 4 was replaced by an sence of two isolated structural units, n-C(9)H-C(1 l)HC(12)H-H and n-C(2)H,-C(3)H-C(l’)H-C(Z’)H,-¤, in 1. acetoxyl group in 2. HMBC experiments with 2 clearly showed correlations from H-17 to the carbonyl carbon of The ‘H NMR spectrum (Table 1) of 1 was closely related to that of brownin B (3) [ 11, apart from the absence in 1 of OAc-17, thus indicating acetoxyl group to be located at the signals for the isopropenyl group. Instead of the C-17. The stereochemistry of brownin G (2) was estabsignals for the isopropenyl group seen in the spectrum of lished based on phase-sensitive NOESY experiments. From the multiplicity at H-12 (q, J = 10.6 Hz), the config3, compound 1 showed signals for a methine proton and gem-dimethyl groups. These findings are consistent with uration at C-13 may be R*. The coupling constant at Hthe “C NMR data (Table 2) which demonstrated a 17 (d, J = 6.0Hz), showed the configuration at C-17 to quaternary carbon at C-3 (696.6), C-4 (6140.5) and a also possibly be R* (Fig. 2). The structure of brownin G y-lactone carbonyl carbon at C-3’ (6 173.1) of 3; these was thus concluded to be that represented by formula 2. were changed to a methine carbon (643.9, C-3), quaternary carbon (679.7, C-4) and a 6-lactone carbonyl carbon EXPERIMENTAL (6168.6, C-3’) in 1, respectively.

Harrisonia brownii collected in Indonesia, in May 1990, previous papers reported the isolation and structural elucidation of four novel limonoids, brownins A, B, D and E, from the bark of Harrisonia brownii [l, 23. In the present study, two new limonoids were isolated and identified as brownins C (1) and G (2) from the bark and wood of the same plant, respectively. Their structures were determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis, the results of which are presented herein along with spectroscopic data and assignments.
