Five new insecticidal sesquiterpenoids from Celastrus angulatus.
Five new sesquiterpene polyol esters were isolated from the root bark of Celastrus angulatus by bioassay-guided fractionation. Their structures were determined by spectral data interpretation as 1alpha,2alpha,6beta,8beta,13-pentaacetoxy-9beta-benzoyloxy-4beta-hydroxy-beta-dihydroagarofuran (1), 1alpha,2alpha,6beta-triacetoxy-8alpha-(beta-furancarbonyloxy)-9beta-benzoyloxy-13-isobutanoyloxy-4beta-hydroxy-beta-dihydroagarofuran (2), 1alpha,2alpha,6beta-triacetoxy-8beta-isobutanoyloxy-9beta-(beta-furancarbonyloxy)-13-(alpha-methyl)butanoyloxy-4beta-hydroxy-beta-dihydroagarofuran (3), 1alpha,2alpha,6beta-triacetoxy-8alpha,13-diisobutanoyloxy-9beta-benzoyloxy-4beta-hydroxy-beta-dihydroagarofuran (4), and 1alpha,2alpha,6beta-triacetoxy-8alpha-isobutanoyloxy-9beta-benzoyloxy-13-(alpha-methyl)butanoyloxy-4beta-hydroxy-beta-dihydroagarofuran (5). Compounds 1-5 exhibited insecticidal activity against the larval of Mythimna separata.
