Abstract

The stem bark CH2Cl2 extract of Ravensara crassifolia showed antifungal activity against the phytopathogenic fungus Cladosporium cucumerinum in a bioautographic TLC assay. Activity-guided fractionation afforded two new alpha -pyrones : (6S)-5,6-dihydro-6-[(2R)-2-hydroxy-6-phenylhexyl]-2H-pyran-2-one (1) and (6R)-6-[(4R,6R)-4,6-dihydroxy-10-phenyldec-1-enyl]-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-one (2). Their structures and absolute configurations were established by NMR spectroscopy, chemical methods, and CD spectroscopy. The antifungal activity against C. cucumerinum was determined for both compounds.
