Absolute Structure

The absolute structure of latifoline, a pyrrolizidine diester alkaloid of retronecine and latifolic and angelic acids, has been defined by single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis of the hydrobromide salt hydrate. Orthorhombic crystals of C20H27NO7.HBr.H2O belong to the space group P 2′2′2′ with a 7.279(1), b 17.898(3), c 17.922(2) � and V 2334-9(8) � 3 . The structure has been refined to an R index of 0.054 for 1725 observed terms. The absolute configuration has been assigned by comparison with that of retronecine and also determined independently by X-ray examination of selected Bijvoet pairs. Our results have shown that the absolute structure of latifolic acid is 13S,14R,19S (2R,3S,4S in latifolic acid numbering), and not the stereoisomer reported recently by Roitman and Wong.

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.

3,4,6-Tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal reacted with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of dicobalt octacarbonyl to yield a mixture of two epimeric anhydrodeoxyheptitols, namely, 4,5,7-tri-O-acetyl-2,6-anhydro-3-deoxy-D-manno-heptitol (I) and 4,5,7-tri-O-acetyl-2,6-anhydro-3-deoxy-D-gluco-heptitol (II). De-O-acetylation of the mixture, followed by chromatographic separation, yielded crystalline 2,6-anhydro-3-deoxy-D-manno-heptitol (III) and 2,6-anhydro-3-deoxy-D-gluco-heptitol (IV). Reaction of the mixture of heptitols (I) and (II) with p-bromobenzenesulfonyl chloride, followed by fractional crystallization of the brosylates, gave pure 4,5,7-tri-O-acetyl-2,6-anhydro-1-O-(p-bromophenylsulfonyl)-3-deoxy-D-gluco-heptitol (VII). The absolute configuration of (VII) has been previously established by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The absolute configuration of (III) was established by correlation with that of (VII). The conversion of compound (II) into various derivatives is described.Reaction of 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal with carbon monoxide and deuterium afforded 2,6-anhydro-3-deoxy-D-manno-heptitol-1,1,3-2H3 (XIII) and 2,6-anhydro-3-deoxy-D-gluco-heptitol-1,1,3-2H3 (XIV). Examination of the nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectra of the normal and deuterated anhydrodeoxyheptitols confirmed the structural assignments and showed that cis addition to the double bond took place to give (XIV).Comparison of the exchange reaction of sodium iodide with 4,5,7-tri-O-acetyl-2,6-anhydro-3-deoxy-1-O-tosyl-D-gluco-heptitol (VIII) and with 4,5,7-tri-O-acetyl-2,6-anhydro-3-deoxy-1-O-tosyl-D-manno-heptitol (XV) revealed that the equatorial primary tosyloxy group of (VIII) was exchanged by iodine twice as readily as the axial primary tosyloxy group of (XV).

The absolute configurations of the known juglomycins A (1) and B (2) have been elucidated by single crystal X-ray structure analysis of 1 and its 6,8-dibromo derivative (1b). The structure of 2 has been corrected; it differs from 1 in its configuration at C-4', and not at C-3' as previously assumed. Relationships with the closely related isochromanquinone antibiotics are discussed.

The brown alga Notheia anomala has yielded a C19 lipid diol, (6S,7S,9R,10R)-6,9-epoxynonadec-18-ene-7,10-diol, as the major component. The structure, assigned on the basis of spectral data, was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis, which also established the relative stereochemistry. The absolute configuration was determined on the monoacetate by the Horeau method.

The crystal structure of cannabidiol, C21H30O2, {systematic name: 2-[(1R,6R)-3-methyl-6-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohex-2-enyl]-5-pentylbenzene-1,3-diol}, was determined earlier by Joneset al.[(1977).Acta Cryst.B33, 3211–3214] and Ottersen & Rosenqvist [(1977).Acta Chem. Scand.B31, 749–755]. In both investigations, the absolute configuration is given asR,R, referring to Mechoulamet al.[(1967.J. Am. Chem. Soc.89, 4552–4554]. In the latter, the absolute configuration was identified by chemical means. Using the advantages of modern single-crystal X-ray diffractometers such as area detectors and high-intensity radiation sources, a high-quality structure determination including the absolute configuration was possible and is shown in this work. Furthermore, the rather uncommon CuKβ wavelength radiation was applied for the structure determination, which confirmed the absolute structure to beR,R.

Petzite, Ag3AuTe2, crystallizes in the space group I4132, which is a Sohncke type of space group where chiral crystal structures can occur. The structure refinement of petzite reported long ago [Frueh (1959). Am. Mineral. 44, 693–701] did not provide any information about the absolute structure. A new single-crystal X-ray diffraction refinement has now been performed on a sample from Lake View Mine, Golden Mile, Kalgoorlie, Australia, which has resulted in a reliable absolute structure [a Flack parameter of 0.05 (3)], although this corresponds to the opposite enantiomorph reported previously. The minimum Te–Te distance is 3.767 (3) Å, slightly shorter than the van der Waals bonding distance, which suggests a weak interaction between the two chalcogens. XANES spectra near the Au and Te L III edges suggest that the chemical-bonding character of Au in petzite is more metallic than in other gold minerals.

The relative configuration at C-2 of 2,4-dimethyl-3,4-O-isopropylidene-L-arabinono lactone, C10H16O5, which exists in the boat form, was unequivocally established by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The absolute configuration was determined by the use of 2-C-methyl-D-ribonolactone as a starting material.

Absolute Stereochemistry

The absolute stereochemistry of (+)- latifolk acid has been determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis to be (2S,3R,4R)-3- hydroxy-2,4-dimethyl-5-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylic acid. The configuration of the three chiral centres is opposite to that presently recorded in the literature. Accordingly, the configuration of the pyrrolizidine alkaloid, latifoline, which includes a latifolic acid side chain, must be revised.
