Derivatives of 21-nor-5α-cholane-20,24-diol XI and XIX were prepared by stepwise construction of the side-chain in the position 17β. Their absolute configuration at C(20) was determined on the basis of chemical correlation with the derivatives of 21-nor-5α-cholan-20-ol, XVI and XXIV. The absolute configuration of alcohols XVI and XXIV was determined from the ratio of the yields in which they are formed during the reduction of ketone X and using the benzoate rule. To compounds XI-XVIII the configuration 20R and to compounds XIX-XXVI the configuration 20S has been assigned.

The title compound, C21H32O3, also known as dimethylincisterol A3, was isolated from halotolerant fungus THW-18. It is composed of three fused rings and a side chain. In the crystal structure, the molecules interact with each other via O—H...O hydrogen bonds, resulting in an extended chain along the b axis. The absolute configuration was assigned from the measured optical rotation and reference to the literature.

CD data of all four diastereoisomers of the permethylaryl ether 3- O-acetyl derivatives of a series of flavan-3-ols permit assignment of the absolute configuration at the stereocentres of the heterocyclic ring.

The structure and absolute configuration of a bisepoxide (2) produced by oxidation of tetraacetylsecologanin dimethyl acetal (1) with m-chloroperbenzoic acid have been established by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Epoxidation of the vinyl side chain is unexceptional; epoxidation of the β-alkoxyacrylate moiety is novel. This determination represents a valuable bench mark for configurational assignments, since the bisepoxide has been correlated by chemical transformations with a number of synthetic and naturally-occurring derivatives of secologanin.

The conformation of the side chain of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterint (6) in 0.5 M DCl/D2O is predominantly quasi-equatorial (deduced from 3J (13C4a, 1H6) 1.1 HZ), and is the same as that of the methyl group in 2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline and in 2-amino-6-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropteridin-4(3H)-one in the same solvent. Because (-)-(2S)-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline(4) and (-)-(6S)-2-amino-6-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropteridin-4(3H)-one (5) have the same conformation and negative c.d. spectra (O 248 nm and 263 nm respectively) as does the natural 5,6,7,8, tetrahydrobiopterin (O minimum at 265 nm) in 0.1 M hydrochloric acid, then the absolute conformations of the tetrahydropyrazine rings and the absolute configurations at the chiral centres C2, C6, and C6 of compounds (4), (5) and (6) respectively are the same. Hence the absolute configuration at C6 in natural 5,6,7,8 tetrahydrobiopterin is R.� A convenient synthesis of biopterin on a gram scale is described.

On the basis of spectroscopic, particularly 1H NMR data, isosilerolide was assigned structure I, including the absolute configuration. The structure was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Isosilerolide represents a new stereoisomeric type of natural eudesmanolides, characterized as 5βH, 6αH, 7αH, 10αCH3-eudesman-6,12-olide. As shown by the chemical correlation of isosilerolide (I) with silerolide (III) and lasolide (X), the latter two natural lactones belong to this stereoisomeric group of eudesmanolides. Analysis of models and 1H NMR data shows that structures of some eudesman-6,12-olides, published by other authors, should be corrected.
