Abstract
The seeds of Otoba parvifolia contain three novel compounds apparently derived from homogentisic acid, rel-(1′R,5′R)-2-(1′-farnesyl-5′-hydroxy-2′-oxocyclohex-3′-en-1′-yl)-acetic acid and its acetate as well as rel-(1′R,4′S,5′R)-2-(1′-farnesyl-4′,5′-dihydroxy-2′-oxocyclohexan-1′-yl)-acetic acid δ-lactone. The structure of an additional isolate, previously described as 2-(1′-farnesyl-2′-hydroxy-5′-oxocyclohex-3′-en-1′-yl)-acetic acid γ-lactone was revised to rel-(1′R,5′R)-2-(1′-farnesyl-5′-hydroxy-2′-oxocyclohex-3′-en-1′-yl)-acetic acid δ-lactone.
