The Absolute

From the endemic Cuban species Rauvolfia salicifolia GRISEB nine alkaloids were isolated of which the following seven had been already described: (+)-ajmalidine (I), (-)-reserpiline (II), (-)-isoreserpiline (III), (-)-isocarapanaubine (IV), (-)-ajmalicine (V), (+)-vellosimine (VI), and (+)-yohimbine (VII). The structure of (-)-raucubaine (VIII) had been previously determined by X-ray diffraction and the structure of the alkaloid (-)-raucubainine (IX) was suggested on the basis of its conversion to (-)-raucubaine (VIII). The absolute configuration of (-)-raucubaine and (-)-raucubainine was elucidated by CD spectroscopy.

The stems of Bursera multijuga afforded (-)-(1 S,3 E,7 R,8 R,11 E)-7,8-epoxycembra-3,11-dien-1-ol (1) and its acetate 2, together with cembrene A (3), nephthenol (4), and cembrenol (5). The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS, and X-ray diffraction. The conformational preference of flexible 1 was studied by molecular modeling at the DFT B3LYP/DGDZVP level of theory. Good agreement between calculated and experimental vibrational circular dichroism curves established the absolute configuration of 1. This is the first time that cembrane derivatives have been isolated from the genus Bursera.

Reverse Method

Single crystal X-ray diffraction has been used as one of the common methods for the unambiguous determination of the absolute stereostructure of chiral molecules. However, this method is limited to molecules containing heavy atoms or to molecules with the possibility of functionalization with heavy elements or chiral internal references. Herein, we report the determination of the absolute stereostructure of the enantiomers of molecule (E)-2, which lacks the possibility of functionalization, using a reverse method, i.e., defunctionalization of its precursor of known stereostructure with bromine substitution (S-(−)-(E)-1). A reductive debromination of S-(−)-(E)-1 results in formation of one of the enantiomers of (E)-2. Using a combination of HPLC and CD spectroscopy we could safely assign the stereostructure of one of the enantiomers of (E)-2, the reduced product R-(−)-(E)-1.

The Absolute

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.

The crystal and molecular structure of the Ag[Co(ohb-(S)-Ala)2] . 5 H2O have been determined by X-ray diffraction method. The crystals are hexagonal with a = b = 9.039(0.002) Å, c = 24.896(0.006) Å, space group P3221, and Z = 3. Each Ag+ counterion coordinated by one water molecule which is a part of hydrogen bond network, is bonded to aromatic rings. The anion adopts LAMBDA-mer absolute configuration. Mer geometry is in accord with the molecular mechanics calculations. Since CD spectroscopy does not reflect configurational chirality, the absolute configuration has been determined by the X-ray structure analysis and assigned using chirality descriptors. The arrangements at the chiral centers are R for both N atoms. The two five-membered rings each assume envelope conformation with C1 and C2 atoms exceptionally deviated (0.378(7) and 1.210(7) Å) from the N-Co-O plane. Both six-membered rings have delta twist boat conformations. The complex described has been also characterized by the electronic and 13C NMR spectroscopies.

Reaction of [Ru((R)-BINAP)(H)(MeCN)n(acetone)3–n](BF4) (where n = 0–3) (2) with 1 equiv of the olefin substrate methyl α-acetamidoacrylate (MAA) in acetone at room temperature immediately generated a mixture (72:28) of two diastereomers of the complex [Ru((R)-BINAP)(MeCN)(MAA(H))](BF4) (3). The olefin–hydride insertion reaction between 2 and MAA to generate 3 was regioselective, with transfer of the hydride to the β-olefinic carbon and transfer of ruthenium to the α-carbon in both diastereomers of 3. The two diastereomers of 3 differ by the absolute configuration at the α-carbon of MAA(H) ((SCα)-3 and (RCα)-3). The absolute configuration of the major ((SCα)-3) diastereomer was determined by X-ray diffraction in conjunction with NMR spectroscopic data. Protonolysis of the ruthenium–carbon bond in 3 and in the methyl α-acetamidocinnamate (MAC) analog ([Ru((R)-BINAP)(MeCN)((S)- MAC(H))](BF4) ((SCα)-4)) by addition of 2 equiv HBF4·Et2O in CH2Cl2 at room temperature was not stereospecific and did not occur with β-hydride elimination from the methyl or benzyl groups.Key words: ruthenium, BINAP, enantioselective, hydrogenation, catalysis.
