A new bacteriochlorophyll from brown-colored Chlorobiaceae.

A new bacteriochlorophyll has been isolated by thin layer chromatography from all strains of the brown-colored Chlorobiaceae Chlorobium phaeobacteroides and Chlorobium phaeovibriodes. The new bacteriochlorophylle--like the bacteriochlorophylls c and d--represents the major amounts of bacteriochlorophyll a. Bacteriochlorophyll e can be differentiated from the bacteriochlorophylls c and d by its absorption maxima in aceton and its different Rf-value in the thin layer chromatogram. The structure of the new bacteriochlorophyll e has been elucidated on the basis of mass spectra, 1H-and 13C-NMR-spectra, the UV/VIS-spectrum as well as IR-, ORD-, and CD-spectra. The new bacteriochlorophyll has the same relationship to bacteriochlorophyll c as chlorophyll b from green plants to chlorophyll a; therefore, bacteriochlorophyll e represents the first formyl-substituted chlorophyll from bacteria. Similar to the bacteriochlorophylls c and d, the new bacteriochlorophyll e consists of a mixture of at least three homologues which differ from each other by different substituents on the pyrrol rings II and III.

The absolute configuration of natural (-)-stercobilin and other urobilinoid compounds.

Chromic acid degradation of natural (-)-stercobilin (1) yields 2(R)-methyl-3(R)-ethylsuccinimide (+2), whereby the absolute configuration of 1 at the chiral centers C-1, C-2, C-7, and C-8 is established. The substituted oxo-tetrahydrodipyrromethane precursor, 5, for the total synthesis of (-)-stercobilins 3 and 4, in which the relative configuration between the asymmetric centers is known, yields 2(S)-methyl-3(S)-ethylsuccinimide (-2) under the same conditions of degradation. Nuclear magnetic resonance studies of 1 and 3 show that in 1 the hydrogen atoms at C-2 and C-2', as well as those at C-7 and C-7', are trans relative to one another. Accordingly, natural (-)-stercobilin possesses the 2'(S), 7'(S) configuration, and has the configuration formula 6(1 (R), 2(R), 2'(S), 7'(S), 7(R), 8(R)). These results, coupled with those of earlier studies, also establish the absolute configuration of the (+)-urobilin 7 and of the phycobilin 8 at C-7'.
