Squamostanal-A, Apparently Derived from Tetrahydrofuranic Acetogenin, from Annona squamosa

Abstract

The seeds of Annona squamosa (Annonaceae) furnished squamostanal-A (1), a novel annonaceous acetogenin. The structure of squamostanal-A was established by spectral methods to be (5S)-3-(12-formyldodecyl)-5-methyl-2, 5-dihydrofuran-2-one.
