Abstract
The chemical investigation of the liverwort Corsinia coriandrina, Corsiniaceae, resulted in the isolation, structure elucidation and synthesis of four sulfur- and nitrogen-containing compounds. The coriandrins were identified as (Z)- and (E)-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethenyl isothiocyanates, while the O-methyltridentatols contain the corresponding (Z)- and (E)S,S-dimethyl 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethenyliminodithiocarbonate structures.
