“…1). Chemical study on secondary metabolites in 10% NaCl resulted in the isolation and identification of a new cyclopentanopyridine alkaloid, 3-hydroxy-5-methyl-5,6-dihydro-7H-cyclopenta [b]pyridin-7-one (1), together with 11 aromatic compounds, (2S,3S)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl) butane-2,3-diol (2) (Thornton and Jones, 1964), (2R,3S)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)butane-2,3-diol (3) (Thornton and Jones, 1964), (S)-3-hydroxy-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-one (4) (Yuki et al, 2009), 3-(hydroxyacetyl)indole (5) (Yang and Cordell, 1997), 1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid (6) (Burton et al, 1986), 5-hydroxy-3-coumaranone (7) (Lee et al, 2010), 4-methylfuran-2-carboxylic acid (8) (Sandham et al, 2004), 3-methylfuran (9) (Hiraoka, 1970), 5-methyluracil (10) (Ellis et al, 1973), 2,5-furandimethanol (11) (Katritzky and Law, 1988), and 5-methylpyridin-3-ol (12) (Boux et al, 1988). The absolute configurations of compounds 2-4 were determined for the first time.…”
