Naturally occurring sesquiterpenes having humulane frameworks are structurally intriguing and possess significant biological profiles. Asymmetric synthesis of the alashanoids B, C, E, and F and 2,9-humuladien-6-ol-8-one is achieved for the first time through a linear synthetic strategy. Intramolecular late-stage Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi (NHK) coupling is employed to access the eleven-membered macrocyclic core present in the target molecules. The NHK precursors are accessed using the Evans and non-Evans and -aldol reaction as a key transformation. X-ray and ECD analysis reconfirmed the synthesized compounds' structures and chirotopical properties.

As a part of systematic research, an ongoing phytochemical investigation of the sesquiterpenoid-containing fraction led to the isolation of five new sesquiterpenoids from the peeled stems of Syringa pinnatifolia, including two pairs of enantiomeric humulane-type (±)-alashanoids A and B (1 and 2) and one eremophilane-type alashanoid C (3). These structures were elucidated by the analysis of extensive spectroscopic data, including ESI-MS and 1D and 2D NMR, and the absolute configuration was determined by comparing its experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism and calculated NMR. These isolates exhibited moderate in vitro cardioprotective effects against oxidative injuries in H9c2 cells.

The peeled stems of Syringa pinnatifolia(SP) is a representative Mongolian folk medicine with the effects of anti-depression, heat clearance, pain relief, and respiration improvement. It has been clinically used for the treatment of coronary heart disease, insomnia, asthma, and other cardiopulmonary diseases. As part of the systematic study on pharmacological substances of SP, 11 new sesquiterpenoids were isolated from the terpene-containing fractions of the ethanol extract of SP by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC-MS) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance(~1H-NMR) guided isolation methods.

Five new sesquiterpenoids, alashanoids O-S (1-5), along with three known analogs (6-8) were isolated from the peeled stems of Syringa pinnatifolia. Their structures were elucidated by analysis of extensive spectroscopic data including ESI-MS, 1D, 2D NMR. The absolute configurations were determined by comparing its experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism, calculated OR, calculated NMR, and single crystal X-ray diffraction data analysis.
