(-)-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.

(-)-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.

Plumbagin (1), droserone (2), hydroxydroserone (4) and four new quinones, nepenthone-A, nepenth-one-B, nepenthone-C (17) and nepenthone-E (9), have been isolated from the roots of Nepenthes rafflesiana Jack. A fifth quinone-nepenthone-D-has been detected in the extract and has been assigned the tentative structure (29) from its spectroscopic properties. ��� The crystal structure of nepenthone-E (9) was determined by X-ray diffraction; diffractometer data at 295 K were refined by full-matrix least squares to a residual of 0.061 (1040 'observed' reflections). Crystals of nepenthone-E (9) are triclinic, Pī a 7.579 (4), b 7.764 (5), c 10.806 (7) Ǻ, α 70.86 (4), β 101.40 (5), γ 91.70 (5)°, Z 2. ��� The structure of nepenthone-C (17) has been confirmed by an unambiguous synthesis. A synthesis of 2,7,8-trimethoxy-3-methyl-5,6-methylenedioxynaphtho-1,4-quinone (49) has revealed that this substance (49) is not identical with the O,O-dimethyl ether of nepenthone-A, and it is suggested that nepenthone-A is either the 5- or 8-O-methyl ether of 2,5,8-trihydroxy-3-methyl-6,7-methylenedioxy-naphtho-1,4-quinone [(36) or (37), respectively].

The spectroscopic properties of thiobinupharidine and its isomer, neothiobinupharidine, of established structure, have been examined and compared. From this study it was possible to deduce the structure and relative configuration of the alkaloid. The structure has been firmly established and the absolute configuration determined by the study of the crystal structure of thiobinupharidine dihydrobromide dihydrate, C30H42O2N2S•2HBr•2H2O. The crystals are orthorhombic with space group C2221, a = 25.128(6), b = 9.869(2), c = 26.380(6) Å, and Z = 8. The structure was refined, using full-matrix least-squares techniques with 1934 reflections, to a final R value of 0.097. The thiobinupharidine moiety hydrogen bonds to one of two types of H2O–Br–H2O spiral chains in the structure. The tetrahydrothiophene ring is distorted from planarity, and this together with the nonequivalence of the S and C atoms in the ring causes the molecule to deviate from C2 symmetry

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.

It has been confirmed that treatment of 5,8-dihydroxy-2,3-dimethoxy-6-methylnaphtho-1,4- quinone (1) with dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide leads to selective O- demethylation. The hydrolysis product has been identified as 2,5,8-trihydroxy-3-methoxy-6-methylnaphtho1,4- quinone (3) from the crystal structure of the corresponding triacetate (4). The crystal structures of 5,8-dihydroxy-2,3-dimethoxy-6-methylnaphtho-1,4-quinone (1) and 2,5,8-triacetoxy-3-methoxy-6-methylnaphtho-1,4-quinone (4) were determined by X-ray diffraction; diffractometer data at 295 K were refined by least squares techniques to residuals of 0.074 (583 'observed' reflections) for (1) and 0.049 (2005) for (4). Crystals of (1) are monoclinic, P2l/c, a 3.873(4), b 20.21(1), c 15.OO(2) �, β 96.05(6)�, Z 4. Crystals of (4) are also monoclinic, P2l/c, a 10.532(5), b 14.596(6), c 12.097(6) �, β 109.74(4)�, Z 4.
