Purpureine (1), norpurpureine (2), and 3-hydroxyglaucine (4) were isolated from the leaves of Annona purpurea. A vibrational circular dichroism study for the absolute configuration determination of 1 provides evidence for the mutually dependent atropisomerism, local chirality of the sole stereogenic center, and the geometry of the tetrahedral nitrogen atom in aporphine alkaloids. The observed change in the optical rotation sign between 2 and its hydrochloride 3 might explain why this compound has been reported as dextrorotatory and levorotatory from the same botanical source. Furthermore, 1H and 13C NMR spectra of 1, 2 and 4 were fully assigned for the first time.

Chiral resolution of (±)-3α,6β-dicinnamoyloxytropane (1) and (±)-3α,6β-di(1-methyl-1 H-pyrrol-2-ylcarbonyloxy)tropane (2), prepared by esterification of (±)-3α,6β-tropanediol (3), was achieved using an amylose-derived HPLC stationary phase and normal phase conditions. The corresponding vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra provided the absolute configuration of the enantiomers as (-)-(3 R,6 R)-1, (+)-(3S,6S)- 1, (-)-(3 R,6 R)-2 and (+)-(3S,6S)- 2. In each case, characteristic VCD bands for the absolute configuration determination of the 3α,6β-tropandiol esters were observed. While the absolute configuration of natural 1, previously isolated from Erythroxylum hypericifolium, could not be established due to the lack of literature optical rotation values, that of catuabine E, previously isolated from E. vacciniifolium, is now assigned as (-)-(3 R,6 R)-2 by comparison with the optical rotation values of the prepared samples and the reported rotation of the natural product.

The structure of yatein isolated from Libocedrus yateensis has been determined as (2R, 3R)-2-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl)3-(3,4-methylenedioxybenzyl)butyrolactone (Ia). The assignment of individual signals of the 1H NMR spectrum of yatein and further lignans of the 2,3-dibenzyl-butyrolactone type is discussed and supported by the use of a lanthanide shift reagent and by mass spectrometry of deuterated derivatives IIa, IIb. A method of determination of absolute configuration of the centres C(2) and C(3) of these 2,3-dibenzylbutyrolactone lignans on the basis of a combination of information obtained from 1H NMR spectra and optical rotation is proposed. The erroneous interpretation of the ORD and CD spectra used in some instances for the determination of absolute configuration of these substances, as well as the often repeated error in the assignment of benzyl and C(2)-H, C(3)-H protons in 1H NMR spectra of trans-lignans is also discussed. A complete analysis of the 1H NMR spectra permitted the proposition of the preferred conformation for trans and cis isomer Ia and Ib.

A new stereospecific ligand, ethylenediamine-N,N'-di(S)-α-isocapronic acid, was synthesized by condensation of (S)-leucine with 1,2-dibromoethane in alkaline aqueous medium. It follows from the 1H and 13C NMR spectra that the terminal methyl groups are chemically and magnetically nonequivalent. Of the four theoretically possible isomers of the ternary cobalt (III) complex with ethylenediamine, separation on catex yielded only one, whose absolute configuration was determined by a combination of 1H and 13C NMR, electron absorption spectroscopy and CD and IR spectroscopy.

rel(1S,4S,5R)-3,3,5-Trimethyl-4-[( 1E)-3-oxo-1-butenyl]-4,5-epoxy-cyclohexyl-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (I) was isolated from the aerial part of Veratrum lobelianum BERNH. The structure was derived mainly from detailed analysis of 1H and 13C NMR spectra of its acetylated derivative II. Compound I has been already reported under the name icariside B2in Epimedium grandiflorum MORR. var. thunbergianum (MIQ.) NAKAI.
