A comprehensive survey of the 1966–1984 literature of the chemical constituents in ferns is
presented. A table of fern constituents listed by species arranged according to Crabbe et …

Angiopterlactones A (1) and B (2), two unique lactones, and three known lactones,
osmundalactone (3), osmundalin (4), and 3, 5-dihydroxy-γ-caprolactone (5), have been …

Both optical antipodes of the cis-isomers of osmundalactone, a hydroxypyranone natural
product and core structure of the angiopterlactones, have been synthesized from acetylfuran …

The syntheses of the chiral α, β-unsaturated lactones (+)-5,(−)-6,(+)-8,(+)-9, and (+)-10 have
been efficiently achieved from readily available starting materials. The lactone (+)-5 has …

Abstract EBC‐23, 24, 25, 72, 73, 75 and 76 were isolated from the fruit of Cinnamomum
laubatii (family Lauraceae) in the Australian tropical rainforests. EBC‐23 (1) was …

(+)-Osmundalactone, a new natural product, and three γ-lactones, one of which is new,
together with eight spiromentins, six of which are new, have been isolated from the fungus …

Natural products isolation studies of 16 native Australian fern species have been
undertaken, facilitated by pressurised hot water extraction (PHWE). Fourteen of these fern …

The living ferns constitute a large group in the plant kingdom, including as they do about
12,000 species (Pichi Sermolli 1960)(1). They are usually divided into three orders …

Angiopteris species (Angiopteridaceae) have been widely used in traditional Chinese
medicine to treat many diseases. A. esculenta Ching was endemic to north-west of Yunnan …

The stereoselective synthesis of the naturally occurring lactones osmundalactone (−)‐1 and
muricatacin (−)‐2 is described. The key steps in each synthesis are the stereoselective …
