Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

Summary

1. A chloroform extract of the lichenParmelia birulae has yielded the anthraquinone islandicin and the new violet pigment biruloquinone, 1,4,8-trihydroxy-2-methoxy-7-methyl-9,10-phenanthraquinone-5-carboxylic acid (5 → 4)-lactone, the first ortho-phenanthraquinone from a lichen.

2. A hexane extract of the lichenAsahinea scholanderi has yielded seven anthraquinone pigments, including: chrysophanol, islandicin, cynodontin, emodin, and 1,4,5,6(or 7),8-pentahydroxy-3-methylanthraquinone.
