The major alkaloid of a Fijian Melodinus sp. (family Apocynaceae) has been identified as (+)-scandine (1). The crystal structure and absolute configuration of the acetone solvate of (+)-scandine hydrobromide have been determined by X-ray diffraction; diffractometer data at 295 K were refined by block diagonal least squares to a residual of 0.037 (2657 'observed' reflections). Crystals of the hydrobromide are monoclinic, P21, a 9.496(3), b 14.561(5), c 9.339(3) �, β 115.39(2)�, Z 2. Although the cations of (+)-scandine hydrobromide and (+)-N-methylmeloscine bromide have the same skeleton and the same absolute configuration, they have different conformations; this appears to be due to the steric effect of the N-methyl group in the latter cation.

(-)-Phyllochrysine (1), (-)-securinine (2) and a new alkaloid (+)-15α-methoxy-14,15-dihydrophyllochrysine (3) have been isolated from both the bark and roots of Margaritaria indica ( Dalz .) G. L. Webster. The structure and absolute configuration of (3) follow from its spectroscopic properties and its synthesis from (-)- phyllochrysine (1) as well as from the crystal structure of its hydrobromide, obtained by X-ray diffraction. Diffractometer data at 295 K were refined by least-squares techniques to a residual of 0.053 (991 'observed' reflections). Crystals of 15α-methoxy-14,15-dihydrophyllochrysine hydrobromide are orthorhombic, P212121, a 14.324(3), b 14.194(3), c 7.240(2)Ǻ, Z 4.

The crystal structure of (S)-(-)-6-bromo-5,7-dihydroxy-8-methyl-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one [(–)-6-bromocryptostrobin] (11) has been determined by X-ray diffraction from diffractometer data at 295 K and refined by block diagonal least squares to a residual of 0.050 (810 'observed' reflections). Crystals of (11) are tetragonal, P43212, a 7.849(4), c 46.83(2) �, Z 8. The crystallographic data are consistent with the S configuration previously proposed for (–)-cryptostrobin (10). The 13C n.m.r, spectra of (�)-cryptostrobin and(�)-strobopinin also lead to the structures (1) and (6), respectively. This work has enabled the structures proposed for the natural products (�)-lawinal, unonal, 7-O-methylunonal and isounonal to be revised to (8), (14), (15) and (12), respectively.

(-)-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.

The crystal structure of [Pt(diethylenetriamine)(guanosine)](ClO4)2 has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group P212121, with a = 12.486(6), b = 13.444(7), c = 14.678(11) Å, and Z = 4. The structure was refined by block-diagonal least-squares analysis to a conventional R factor of 0.050 and a weighted Rw = 0.045.The coordination around the platinum atom is square planar. Guanosine is bonded to platinum through N(7). The purine planar ring makes an angle of 62.7° with the platinum coordination plane. The structure is stabilized by hydrogen bonding.

Crystals are monoclinic, P2/c, a 19.102(8), b 8.117(4), c 16.610(8) Ǻ, β 111.90(3)°, Z. Unlike the tris(α-oxyimino ketonato)iron(II) complexes which are fac, the present derivative is based upon substitution of the two picoline moieties into a mer derivative, trans to the nitrogen atoms of the chelate ligands. <Fe- N(picoline)> is 2.020; <Fe-N, O(chelate)> 1.880, 1.952 Ǻ.

Dissymmetry of the photoproduct was induced by using a chiral substituent, (S)-methylphenylalanine, in the title compound {N-4-(2,4,6-triisopropylbenzoyl)benzoyl]-(S)-phenylalanine methyl ester (I)}. On irradiation with light from a 250 W ultra-high-pressure Hg lamp for 7 h through a long-pass filter, the photoreaction in a crystal was 100% complete without the loss of crystallinity. The crystal structures (I), before, and (II) {N-[4-(7-hydroxy-3,5-diisopropyl-8,8-dimethylbicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1,3,5-trien-7-yl)benzoyl]-(S)-phenylalanine methyl ester}, after photocyclization, have been determined by X-ray diffraction. For comparison, a crystal structure analysis has also been carried out for the photoproduct (III) of the 3′-COOMe derivative after recrystallization {methyl 3-(7-hydroxy-3,5-diisopropyl-8,8-dimethylbicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1,3,5-trien-7-yl)benzoate}. The dihedral angle between the central carbonyl plane and the triisopropylphenyl ring deviates from 90° by 10 (1)° in (I), which makes an imbalance in the intramolecular O(carbonyl)...H(methine) distances of the isopropyl groups at positions 2 and 6. The crystal structure of (II) indicates that the nearer methine H was predominantly abstracted by the carbonyl O atom in the reaction. The absolute configuration around the asymmetric C atom in the cyclobutenol ring of the product is S.

The crystal structure of the title compound, CZOH3803 [compound (1) in ref.'], has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 295(1) K and refined by least squares to a residual of 0.045 for 954 'observed' reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, P2', a 9.281(2), b 17.798(6), c 6.417(1) A, B 93.81(3)", Z 2. The structure determination establishes the relative configuration of the chiral centres within the 14-membered macrocyclic ring and shows the double bond to have the unusual (Z) configuration.
