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.

The Absolute

The synthesis of the title compounds has been described recently. It was anticipated that the product would be a diastereomeric mixture. Surprisingly, only one isomer was obtained. The present work is an attempt to find the conformationnal properties accounting for those observations. X-ray structure determination of 3R-[p-hydroxybenzyl]-6-carbethoxy-2-oxopiperazine shows that the molecule adopts a folded conformation and that the absolute configuration at C6 is [R]. Investigation in solution using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance shows the existence of three conformers and discusses the relative populations. Those findings are also relevant in terms of the activity of such compounds at the opiate receptor level.

Abstract By irradiation of methyl phenylglyoxylate (1) in benzene solution in presence of equimolar amounts of 2-aminopropenenitriles H2C=C(NR2)CN (3a - e, NR2 = morpholino, 1-pyrrolidinyl, 1-piperidinyl, hexamethyleneimino, heptamethyleneimino) the corresponding 2R∗,3R∗ head-to-head oxetanes 4a - e were obtained in moderate yields (11 - 52%) along with 2 - 28% of rac-dimethyl 2,3- diphenyltartrate (2). In presence of (S)-2-(2-methoxymethylpiperidin-1-yl)propenenitrile ((+)-3g) 1 is transformed into 26% of 2 and 33% of a mixture of diastereomeric oxetanes 4g,4’g in a ratio of 1.4 : 1 which could be improved to 2.5 : 1 by preparative layer chromatography. The absolute configuration of the major diastereomer 4g was unambiguously confirmed by a single crystal X-ray structure determination to be 2R,3R,2’S. Analogous photoadditions to benzil (5a), 4,4’-bis-(trifluoromethyl)benzil (5b) and 4,4’-dichlorobenzil (5c) with (+)-3g and its lower homologue (S)-2-(2-methoxymethylpyrrolidin- 1-yl)propenenitrile ((-)-3f) gave oxetanes only in low yield as detected by 1H NMR. Byproducts arise from competitive symmetrical α-cleavage of 5.

Fundamental notions concerning absolute structure and absolute configuration, and their determination from single-crystal diffraction measurements, are presented and reviewed. A glossary of terms with definitions useful in this field is provided. For absolute structure and its determination, the separate but interacting influences of the structure and the inversion-distinguishing power of an X-ray diffraction experiment with dispersive scatterers are examined. Important experimental and algorithmic details of the current methods used for absolute-structure determination are provided. Characterization of crystals for absolute-structure determination and of molecules for absolute-configuration determination are treated. Attention is given to the analysis of absolute structure and absolute configuration in twinned crystals.

Abstract The absolute configuration of the conformationally flexible aldehyde ester methyl-2-formyl-2-(phe-nylsulfanyl)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-propanoate was determined by comparison of measured and calculated CD spectra.The spectra were calculated by means of the so-called matrix method assuming R configuration at the stereogenic center. Calculated and observed signs of the first three most intense CD bands agree. Therefore, it was concluded that the absolute configuration of the compound was also R, which is in perfect agreement with the results of an X-ray structure determination.

Absolute Structure

The determination of the absolute configuration for light-atom structures is central to research in pharmaceuticals and natural-product synthesis [1]. In the absence of elements heavier than silicon, it is often problematic to make a significant assignment of absolute configuration. Traditionally, heavy-atom derivatives were prepared which have a stronger anomalous signal compared to the native compound. However, this is not always feasible. The assignment of the absolute structure of pure organic compounds has become somewhat easier with the advent of high-intensity microfocus sources [2], as the increased flux density improves the anomalous signal through improvements in counting statistics. In order to maximize the anomalous signal, X-ray sources with Cu anodes are usually used for the absolute structure determination. However, these data are usually limited to a maximum resolution of about 0.80 Å. High-brilliance microfocus X-ray sources with Mo targets enable the collection of high quality data beyond 0.40 Å within a reasonable amount of time. This allows not only a more accurate modelling of the electron density by using aspherical scattering factors, but also enables a reliable determination of the absolute structure, despite the significantly lower anomalous signal obtained with Mo Kα radiation. With the recently introduced liquid-Gallium-jet X-ray source unprecedented beam intensities can be achieved [3]. The shorter wavelength of Ga Kα compared to Cu Kα slightly weakens the anomalous signal of a typical light-atom structure. However, due to the shorter wavelength, the highest resolution for the liquid metal-jet source is typically at about 0.70 Å, compared to about 0.80 Å for Cu Kα. Hence, about 50% more unique reflections can be recorded. This clearly improves the structural model and the quality of the Flack parameter. Selected results on the absolute structure and charge density determinations for light-atom structures will be presented.

(-)-Cytisine, (+)-lupanine, (-)-anagyrine, (�)-piptanthine and (-)-templetine have been isolated from Templetonia retusa (Vent.) R.Br. The absolute crystal structures of the trihydrochloride dihydrate and the isomorphous trihydrobromide dihydrate of (-)- templetine have both been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction; diffractometer data at 295 K were refined by least-squares techniques to residuals of 0.045 and 0.031, respectively, for 2351 and 1948 'observed' reflections. Crystals of the trihydrochloride are orthorhombic P212121, a 8.830(4), b 14.201(6), c 19.122(12)Ǻ, Z 4. Crystals of the trihydrobromide are isomorphous, a 9.081(3), b 14.578(2), c 19.197(11)Ǻ, Z 4. The absolute structure (1) of (-)- templetine has led to the absolute structure of its dehydrogenation product (-)- dehydropiptanthine perchlorate (7) which, in turn, has allowed the absolute structures of (-)- ormosanine (6), (+)- piptanthine (4) and (-)- panamine (9) to be defined. (-)- Templetine (1) reacts with formaldehyde to form homotempletine (12) and with carbon disulfide to yield the thiourea (13). Treatment of either (12) or (13) with W-1 Raney nickel followed by perchloric acid has yielded the diperchlorate (15). The X-ray crystal structure of the diperchlorate (15) has also been determined: diffractometer data at 295 K were refined by least-squares techniques to a residual of 0.056 (1312 'observed' reflections). Crystals of the diperchlorate (15) are orthorhombic, P212121, a 18.636(5), b 12.569(6), c 10.403(4)Ǻ, Z 4.

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.

The 8aR absolute stereochemistry of Wieland-Miescher ketone (-)-I was established by the X-ray structure analysis of its bis(4-bromobenzoate) derivatives (1R,6R,8aR)-(+)-IV and (1R,6S,8aR)-(-)-V. The absolute configuration of (-)-I was corroborated further by the application of the CD exciton chirality method to bis(4-bromobenzoates) (+)-IV and (-)-V.
