| identification, synthesis and mass spectrometry of a macrolide from the african reed frog hyperolius cinnamomeoventris. | the contents of the gular glands of the male african reed frog hyperolius cinnamomeoventris consist of a mixture of aliphatic macrolides and sesquiterpenes. while the known macrolide gephyromantolide a was readily identified, the structure of another major component was suggested to be a tetradecen-13-olide. the synthesis of the two candidate compounds (z)-5- and (z)-9-tetradecen-13-olide revealed the former to be the naturally occurring compound. the synthesis used ring-closing metathesis as ke ... | 2016 | 28144343 |
