The absolute configuration of the naturally occurring lignan plicatic acid (I, 2,3,6-trihydroxy-7-methoxy-2-hydroxymethyl-4-(3′,4′-dihydroxy-5′-methoxyphenyl)-tetralin-3-carboxylic acid) is shown, by optical rotatory dispersion data, to be 2R,3S,4R.

The minor alkaloids present among the strong bases of Lycopodiumlucidulum have been reinvestigated. Manske and Marion's alkaloid L.23 has been shown to be epimeric with lycodoline at C-12 and the nitrogen. A correlation between the two alkaloids has been achieved. The presence of a σ-coupled p interaction in the ultraviolet spectrum of lycopodine, lycodoline, and related compounds is described. A Cotton effect due to this chromophore has been detected by means of circular dichroism. The optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroic properties of lycopodine, 12-epilycopodine, lycodoline, and alkaloid L.23 are discussed in terms of the absolute configuration assigned to these alkaloids.

The conversion of (+)-catechin tetramethyl ether into (-)-2-chloro-5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyisoflavan is shown to proceed by 1,2-migration of the 2-aryl group with inversion of configuration at the 3-position of the flavan nucleus (the migration terminus). The chloroisoflavan was converted into (+)-cis-2-acetoxy-5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyisoflavan and reduction of this gave (+)-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)propan-1-ol. This was converted into the corresponding (+)-propane which gave (-)-methylsuccinic acid on ozonolysis. The (+)-propane therefore possesses the (8)-configuration corresponding to the (S)-configuration of the (+)-2,3-diarylpropan-1-ol and the (3s)-configuration of the (+)-cis-2-acetoxy-isoflavan. (+)-cis-2-Ethoxy- and (+)-cis-2-methoxy-5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyisoflavan have been converted into the related (+)-1-alkoxy-2,3-diarylpropanes. Chlorination of the phloroglucinol nucleus in (+)-catechin tetramethyl ether may occur during reaction with phosphorus pentachloride and is shown to lead to 2,6-dichloro-5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyisoflavan. Racemic cis- and laevorotatory and racemic trans-2-acetoxy-5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyisoflavan have been prepared. Nuclear magnetic resonance and optical rotatory dispersion data for a number of isoflavans are reported. The absolute configurations of pterocarpin, homopterocarpin, and pisatin are inferred.

The absolute configurations of cryptopleurine and (-)-tylocrebrine have been established as R and S respectively by comparison of their optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism spectra with those of tylophorine.

Decandrinin (1), an unprecedented C9-spiro-fused 7,8-seco-ent-abietane, was obtained from the bark of an Indian mangrove, Ceriops decandra, collected in the estuary of Godavari, Andhra Pradesh. The constitution and the relative configuration of 1 were determined by HRMS (ESI) and extensive NMR investigations, and the absolute configuration by circular dichroism (CD) and optical-rotatory dispersion (ORD) spectroscopy in combination with quantum-chemical calculations. Decandrinin is the first 7,8-seco-ent-abietane.
