Abstract

Isolation and structures of two novel neolignans, asatone (1) and isoasatone (2), are described. The structure of the latter, established by means of an X-ray crystallographic analysis of its dihydroxy derivative, is in full agreement with its chemical and spectral data. From a biogenetic point of view, furthermore, thermal and photochemical reactions of these neolignans and their derivatives were carried out. In particular, asatone was ...
