The absolute configuration of the atropisomeric (Z)-3-(5-methyl-2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)-1,3-diphenylprop-2-en-1-one was evaluated to be R for the dextrorotatory and S for the laevorotatory enantiomers. The assignment is based on their two-step syntheses via atropodiastereoisomeric carbamates prepared from the corresponding atropodiastereoisomeric alcohols with (R)-(+)-α-phenylethyl isocyanate and by a complete X-ray space analysis of the quaternary triiodide obtained from the (R)-(+)-enantiomer. CD spectra and PM3 calculated heats of formation for selected compounds are discussed in relation to the found molecular configurations.

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.

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).

Scleroderolide, a yellow pigment produced by the Scleroderris canker fungus Gremmeniellaabietina (Lagerb.) Morelet, is shown to possess structure 1. The structure was determined by an X-ray crystallographic study of the racemic monoacetate 1a. The crystal of 1a belongs to the triclinic system space group, P1, the R-factor converged to 0.047 for the 1957 observed reflections. Scleroderolide occurs mainly as the levorotatory enantiomer (S configuration at C-2′) although on one occasion it was obtained in partially racemic form. The absolute stereochemistry of the levorotatory form was determined by transformation of (−)-sclerodione (5) of known absolute configuration into (−)-scleroderolide. The absolute configuration of (−)-sclerodione was established by correlation with (−)-sclerodin (3). The diacetyl derivative of scleroderolide (1b) shows interesting temperature dependent nuclear magnetic resonance spectral properties due to restricted rotation of the C-4 O-acetyl group. Oxidation of the red pigment sclerodione (5) with m-chloroperbenzoic acid provides both sclerodin (3) and scleroderolide (1). Scleroderolide (1) is the first natural product to be reported that contains a phenylglyoxylate lactone functionality.

The X-ray crystal structures have been determined for three alkaloids isolated from the bark of the rainforest tree Galbulimima belgraveana, namely himbosine, himandrine, and himgaline, thereby allowing the absolute configuration to be established for these three compounds and 15 further alkaloids from this source.

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.

AbstractThe atropisomeric and conformational properties of 1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones were investigated by freezing the conformation with a methyl group at the C9 of 1,4-benzodiazepine. It was revealed that 1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones exist only as a pair of enantiomers [(a1 R, a2 S) and (a1 S, a2 R)], which was confirmed by X-ray analysis. The absolute configuration of each atropisomer was deduced by comparing the [α]D and CD data with those of (–)-N-methoxycarbonylmethylated 9-methyl-5-phenyl-1,4-benzodiaepin-2-one derivative. It was elucidated that the corresponding N-methylated derivative showed similar CD spectra, although the rotational direction of [α]D was opposite to that of others.

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.
