New optically active hexahydrobenzopyrroloisoquinoline and tetrahydrobenzisoquinoline derivatives have been synthesized. Metal hydride reduction of the cyclic amino ketones, prepared by mild Friedel-Crafts type intramolecular acylation of N-naphthalenylmethyl amino acids, yielded pairs of diastereoisomeric alcohols. The absolute stereochemistry and some features of the n.m.r. spectra of hexahydrobenzopyrroloisoquinolines, tetrahydrobenzisoquinoline and those of their intermediates are discussed.

L-Tyrosine was converted stereospecifically to N-benzoyl-2-(p-methoxybenzyl)-3-hydroxy-4-cyanopyrrolidine (10) which had a specific optical rotation [Formula: see text]. Anisomycin was converted also to N-benzoyl-2-(p-methoxybenzyl)-3-hydroxy-4-cyanopyrrolidine (16) which had a specific rotation [Formula: see text]. The infrared spectra of the synthetic compound and the derivative of anisomycin were superimposable with each other. This result showed that the absolute configuration of the three asymmetric centers in (10) of synthetic origin were 2S, 3S, 4S, and those in (16) were 2R, 3R, 4R. Thus, anisomycin should have the absolute stereochemistry 2R, 3S, 4S as depicted in the structure (2). Hydrolysis of the hydroxy nitriles (8) and (10) gave an identical amide (3) which should have the absolute stereochemistry 2S, 3S, 4R as shown in structure (3).

The isolation and properties of four furanoid sesquiterpene ketones from various specimens of the stock-poisoning shrub Myoporum deserti are described. (-)-Epingaione [(-)-(1S,4S)-β-(4,8-dimethyl-6-oxo-1,4- epoxynonyl)furan] may be epimerized to (-)-ngaione either thermally or by base. (-)-Dehydrongaione [(-)-(1S,4R)-β-(4,8-dimethyl-6-oxo-1,4- epoxynon-7-enyl)-furan] is hydrogenated to (-)-ngaione and is equilibrated either thermally or by base with the unconjugated isopropenylic non-8-enyl isomer and (-)-dehydroepingaione [the (1S,4S)- diastereomer], which is hydrogenated to (-)-epingaione. Treatment of dehydrongaione and its epimer with aqueous alkali yields (-)- deisopropylngaione and its epimer by a retroaldol reaction. ��� The argument used by Matsuura1 to deduce the absolute stereochemistry of (+)-ngaione (ipomeamorone) is invalid since, contrary to the literature report, the ipomic lactone obtained from the oxidation of ngaione is not optically active. ��� Specimens of M. deserti have been found which yield essential oils containing each of the four furanoid ketones (-)-ngaione, (-)- epingaione, (-)-dehydrongaione, and (-)-dehydroepingaione free or virtually free from the others. The presence of a few percent of (-)- deisopropylngaione in one (dehydrongaione-rich) M. deserti oil has been demonstrated. ��� (+)-Ngaione, (-)-epingaione, and a mixture of (-)-dehydrongaione and (-)-dehydroepingaione all cause the typical (-)-ngaione liver pathology when injected intraperitoneally into mice. M. deserti plants containing the latter three ketones must be regarded as potentially capable of inducing M. deserti poisoning in stock. A mixture of (-)- deisopropylngaione and (-)- deisopropylepingaione causes both kidney and liver lesions.

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.

The widespread occurrence and significance of chiral compounds does not only require new methods for their enantioselective synthesis but also efficient tools that allow rapid determination of the absolute configuration,...
