Lachnellulone, an antifungal metabolite produced by Lachnellula fuscosanguinea (Rehm) Dennis is shown to possess structure 8. The structure was determined by consideration of the ultraviolet, infrared, 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectra of 8 and its derivatives and was confirmed by an X-ray crystallographic study of lachnellulone p-nitrobenzoate. In solution lachnellulone undergoes facile isomerization to isolachnellulone (9a), which explains the observed mutarotation of 8. The 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of lachnellulone and the related lachnelluloic acid (1) are discussed in some detail. The absolute configuration of lachnellulone has not been determined.

A new alkaloid, pellacalyxin was isolated from the leaves of Pellacalyx saccardianus of Rhizophoraceae family. Pellacalyxin was analyzed using nuclear Overhauser spectroscopy (NOESY) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique to determine the absolute configuration. The analysis of absolute configuration of pellacalyxin was supported by X-ray crystallography. 1H-1H NOESY NMR spectroscopy exhibited that pellacalyxin possesses two chiral centers (3S) and (6R).

The synthesis of the title compounds has been described recently. It was anticipated that the product would be a diastereomeric mixture. Surprisingly, only one isomer was obtained. The present work is an attempt to find the conformationnal properties accounting for those observations. X-ray structure determination of 3R-[p-hydroxybenzyl]-6-carbethoxy-2-oxopiperazine shows that the molecule adopts a folded conformation and that the absolute configuration at C6 is [R]. Investigation in solution using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance shows the existence of three conformers and discusses the relative populations. Those findings are also relevant in terms of the activity of such compounds at the opiate receptor level.
