Novel phenylpropanoids and lignans from Illicium verum.
Nine new phenylpropanoids (2-7, 10, 12, and 14) and two compounds representing novel structural classes of 7-O-8' and 7-O-8'.8-O-7' lignans (8 and 9, respectively) have been isolated from Illicium verum and their structures established by two-dimensional NMR. Most of these compounds appear to be biogenetically derived from threo-anethole glycol: relative stereochemistries for some members of this series were established by NOESY; absolute stereochemistries of others were determined by formation of Mosher esters.
