Abstract

A prominent anticancer constituent of the subalpine Rocky Mountain plant Senecio fendleri Gray was found to be the ethyl ester counterpart (1a) of Jacaranone. The structure of ethyl α-[4-(4-hydroxy-cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-one)]-acetate (1a) was established by spectral (principally nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry) analysis and transformation to azobenzene 3. An x-ray crystal structure determination of the latter substance (3) confirmed the overall assignments.
