Euryachins A (1) and B (2), new typediterpenoid euryamanes, were isolated from the branches of Eurya chinensis. The absolute configuration of 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both 1 and 2 exhibited significant NO production inhibitory activity.

Four new metabolites, asperchalasine I (1), dibefurin B (2) and two epicoccine derivatives (3 and 4), together with seven known compounds (5–11) were isolated from a mangrove fungus Mycosphaerella sp. SYSU-DZG01. The structures of compounds 1–4 were established from extensive spectroscopic data and HRESIMS analysis. The absolute configuration of 1 was deduced by comparison of ECD data with that of a known structure. The stereostructures of 2–4 were further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 1, 8 and 9 exhibited significant α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 17.1, 26.7 and 15.7 μM, respectively. Compounds 1, 4, 6 and 8 showed antioxidant activity by scavenging DPPH· with EC50 values ranging from 16.3 to 85.8 μM.

This Special Issue of Chemistry is dedicated to Dr. Howard D. Flack (1943–2017), a renowned crystallographer who transformed the way in which, by using single crystal X-ray diffraction, we are able to determine the absolute structure of a crystalline material, and thereby determine the absolute configuration of molecular species within the material [...]

The crystal structure of the alkaloid aristoserratine,* C20H24N2O, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K, the structure being refined to a residual of 0.034 for 1107 independent 'observed' reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, P21, a 14.836(5), b 8.568(3), c 6.633(3) �, β 98.05(3)�, Z 2. The relative configuration is established and, by inference, by comparison of the circular dichroism spectrum with that of aristoteline, the absolute configuration is assigned.

An account of the difficulties to determine the absolute configuration (AC) of guaiaretic acid (1a), using contemporary methodology, is described in commemoration of the century of its structure elucidation. In fact, the herein studied molecule was the derived diacetate 1b, since the natural lignan slowly decomposes upon manipulation. Single crystal X-ray diffraction of 1b demonstrated the structure, but calculation of Flack and Hooft parameters to know the AC was unsuccessful since the crystals were triclinic, P-1, which is a centro-symmetric space group. In turn, manual band to band comparison of experimental and DFT B3LYP/DGDZVP calculated VCD spectra of 1b allowed ascertaining its AC, although automatic comparison using the Compare VOA software was not very successful. This behavior is associated to the fact that the studied molecule has a sole stereogenic center located on the acyclic portion of a carbon chain possessing two quite similar substituents. The behavior is discussed in relation to cases where the molecular flexibility also generates a very large number of conformers.

From the endemic Cuban species Rauvolfia salicifolia GRISEB nine alkaloids were isolated of which the following seven had been already described: (+)-ajmalidine (I), (-)-reserpiline (II), (-)-isoreserpiline (III), (-)-isocarapanaubine (IV), (-)-ajmalicine (V), (+)-vellosimine (VI), and (+)-yohimbine (VII). The structure of (-)-raucubaine (VIII) had been previously determined by X-ray diffraction and the structure of the alkaloid (-)-raucubainine (IX) was suggested on the basis of its conversion to (-)-raucubaine (VIII). The absolute configuration of (-)-raucubaine and (-)-raucubainine was elucidated by CD spectroscopy.
