“…After the 1D NMR and MS data of 2 – 8 were compared with literature data, it was revealed that these compounds possessed the same planar structures as those of asperpyrones B ( 2 ), asperpyrone D ( 3 ), asperpyrone C ( 4 ), asperpyrone A ( 5 ), , fonsecinone A ( 6 ), , dianhydro-aurasperone C ( 7 ), and aurasperone A ( 8 ), , respectively; this was confirmed by 2D NMR data. The Cotton effects of compounds 2 – 8 (as shown in Figure ) were similar to those in the CD spectrum of compound 1 , which indicated that the configuration of compounds 2 – 8 were a S ; among them, (a S )-asperpyrone C ( 4 ), (a S )-asperpyrone A ( 5 ), (a S )-fonsecinone A ( 6 ), and (a S )-aurasperone A ( 8 ) have been reported in pervious papers, and compounds 2 , 3 , and 7 were reported for the first time in this article, namely, (a S )-asperpyrones B ( 2 ), (a S )-asperpyrone D ( 3 ), and (a S )-dianhydro-aurasperone C ( 7 ), respectively.…”
