From species Cephalophora aromatica (HOOK.) SCHRADER the authors isolated a series of previously described sesquiterpene lactones I-V and newly the lactone geigerinin (VI). Its structure was confirmed by X-ray analysis and its absolute configuration was determined on the basis of the CD spectra of its complex with Pr(thd)3. The lactones I-VII were tested for antifeedant activity against main crop pests.

In addition to the already described peruvin (I), two further lactones, 3α-hydroxy-11αH,13-dihydrodamsin (II) and, 3α-acetoxy-11αH,13-dihydrodamsin (III), were isolated from aerial parts of species Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. The full structure of these lactones was derived from their NMR and CD spectra and the X-ray structural analysis of compound III. In the aerial part of Ambrosia trifida L. species coronopilin (V) and ivoxanthin (VI) were also identified.

In addition to the earlier described inuviscolide (II), the sesquiterpenic vachanic (V) and 2α-hydroxyisocostic (VII) acids, as well as carabron (VIII) and the so far undescribed sesquiterpenic lactone 11αH,13-dihydroconfertin were also isolated from Dittrichia viscosa (L.) GREUTER. For the last mentioned lactone the structure IX has been derived. The structure of vachanic acid (V) was confirmed by X-ray structural analysis. Compounds V to VII were tested for their deterrent (antifeedant) activity against selected insect pests living in corn stores, and they generally had a high activity.

Four isomers of terguride, a semisynthetic ergot alkaloid derivative, have been prepared by catalytic hydrogenation of (5R,8S)- and (5S,8S)-lisuride [1,1-diethyl-3-(6-methyl-8-ergolenyl)urea]. Relative stereochemistry of the isomers is based on NMR and CD spectra. Absolute configuration of all the series has been confirmed by the X-ray crystal structure determination of (5R,8S,10S)-terguride 2-bromobenzoate [1,1-diethyl-3-(6-methyl-8-isoergolenyl)urea, cis-dihydrolisuride].

The absolute configuration of the atropisomeric (Z)-3-(5-methyl-2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)-1,3-diphenylprop-2-en-1-one was evaluated to be R for the dextrorotatory and S for the laevorotatory enantiomers. The assignment is based on their two-step syntheses via atropodiastereoisomeric carbamates prepared from the corresponding atropodiastereoisomeric alcohols with (R)-(+)-α-phenylethyl isocyanate and by a complete X-ray space analysis of the quaternary triiodide obtained from the (R)-(+)-enantiomer. CD spectra and PM3 calculated heats of formation for selected compounds are discussed in relation to the found molecular configurations.

X-ray studies are carried out to correlate the Cotton effects in CD spectra with the absolute configuration of a series of previously reported chiral 1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-1 ,5-benzodazepin-2-ones.

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.

Abstract The absolute configuration of the conformationally flexible aldehyde ester methyl-2-formyl-2-(phe-nylsulfanyl)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-propanoate was determined by comparison of measured and calculated CD spectra.The spectra were calculated by means of the so-called matrix method assuming R configuration at the stereogenic center. Calculated and observed signs of the first three most intense CD bands agree. Therefore, it was concluded that the absolute configuration of the compound was also R, which is in perfect agreement with the results of an X-ray structure determination.
