New enantiomeric amides (-)-6, (+)-7, (+)-6, and (-)-7 were formed by the reaction of the natural dimeric phthalide rac-diligustilide (rac-1) with (R)-(+)-α-methylbenzylamine and (S)-(-)- α-methylbenzylamine. The absolute configurations of compounds 6 and 7 were assigned by the analysis of electronic circular dichroism curves by means of the exciton chirality method. Compounds 1, 4, 5, (-)-6, (+)-6, (+)-7, and (-)-7 exhibited cytotoxic activity towards several human tumor cell lines.Downloads
