The X-ray crystal structure of a Corynanthé-type indole compound, C22H29N2O4+Br−, wherein an unprecedented triaxial conformation is preferred
On the basis of 1H and 13C nmr data, a conformation was proposed for the Corynanthé type indole compound 8 in which the substituents at C-3 (indole), C-14 (ethyl), and C-15 (malonyl) were all axial. An X-ray crystal study on the HBr salt of 8 confirmed that this a priori unexpected conformation is also preferred in the solid state.
