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 diastereoselectivity of diazomethane addition to the conjugated double bond of α,β-unsaturated sesquiterpene lactones was explored using zaluzanin A (1) as a model. Thus, the absolute configuration of 1 was assured by X-ray diffraction analysis including evaluation of Flack and Hooft parameters, and by vibrational circular dichroism spectroscopy of its diacetyl derivative 2, while the absolute configuration of the diazomethane addition product, zaluzanin A pyrazoline (3), was determined by evaluation of the 1H NMR chemical shift changes with respect to 1, and confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis, again including evaluation of Flack and Hooft parameters.

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.

Mixed complexes of Co(III) with 2-oximinopropionic (H2A) or 2-oximino-3-phenylpropionic (H2B) acid and different amine (imidazole, benzimidazole, pyridine, β-picoline, γ-picoline) are reported. Characterization of the complexes was based upon elemental analysis, conductivity and JR, 1H NMR, and electronic absorption spectra, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The organic ligands behave as O,N donors via the carboxyl oxygen and the oxime nitrogen atoms. A trans-octahedral structure has been assigned to the bis(2-oximinocarboxylato)bis(amine)cobalt(III) on the basis of 1H NMR data.The crystal and molecular structures of the complexes trans-[bis(2-oximinopropionato)bis-(imidazole)]- (I) and trans-[bis(2-oximinopropionato)bis(pyridine)]cobalt(III) (II) were determined. I crystallizes in space group P2/n with a = 14.1 67(2), b = 8.774(1), c = 14.785(2) Å,β = 113.37(1)°, Z = 4, Dcalc = 1.568 g · cm-3. II crystallizes in space group P1̄ with a = 9.122(2), b = 10.038(2), c = 11.759(2) Å, α = 69.95(1)°, β = 67.47(2)°, γ = 69.49(2)°, Ζ = 2, Dcalc = 1.547 g cm-3. The structures were refined to unweighted R factors of 0.036 and 0.028, respectively. The coordination sphere around Co is pseudo-octahedral with the 2-oximinopropionato ligands occupying four equatorial positions, and the amines in axial positions.

Starting from (S)-β-phenylalanine, easily accessible by lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution, a chiral triamine was assembled by a reductive amination and finally cyclized to form the title compound 10. In the crystals of the guanidinium benzoate salt the six membered rings of 10 adopt conformations close to an envelope with the phenyl substituents in pseudo-axial positions. The unprotonated guanidine 10 catalyzes Diels–Alder reactions of anthrones and maleimides (25–30% ee). It also promotes as a strong Brønsted base the retro-aldol reaction of some cycloadducts with kinetic resolution of the enantiomers. In three cases, the retro-aldol products (48–83% ee) could be recrystallized to high enantiopurity (≥95% ee). The absolute configuration of several compounds is supported by anomalous X-ray diffraction and by chemical correlation.

The total assignment of 1H NMR spectra of a pentacyclic triterpene from Loeseliamexicana was performed using selected 2D-NMR experiments (COSY, NOE). X-ray diffraction data were obtained from the parent compound as supplemental information to the NMR investigations. The data allowed for the unambiguous assignment of the structure and the stereochemistry of the title compound. Keywords: pentacyclic triterpene NMR, 2D NMR of terpenes, X-ray of triterpenes, triterpenyl angelate NMR, X-ray -2D NMR structure determination.

The solid state disorder of two tetrahydronaphthalene derivatives, N-methyl-N-methoxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-naphthamide and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-naphthoic acid, was studied by solid state NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The X-ray crystal structure of N-methyl-N-methoxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-naphthamide was obtained at 123 K. It indicated the presence of two distinct molecular conformations. Solid state 13C CP/MAS NMR data using the dipolar dephasing technique revealed that the two conformations of the molecule are dynamically disordered, while solid state 2H NMR data, collected on a specifically deuterated analog, were used to determine the populations of each conformation as well as an apparent activation energy. Solid state NMR experiments were also used to show that 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-naphthoic acid possesses the same type of dynamic disorder. Key words: deuterium NMR, solid state NMR, dynamic disorder. X-ray, tetrahydronaphthalene derivatives
