The structure of coprinolone (1), an oxygen-bridged protoilludane from the W2 isolate of the fungus Coprinuspsychromorbidus, has been elucidated by chemical transformations and detailed 1H and 13C magnetic resonance studies, including homo- and heteronuclear correlation spectra. The 1H–1H coupling data and nuclear Overhauser difference spectra for 1 and derived isomers led to the establishment of its stereochemistry. A second metabolite was identified as Δ6-coprinolone (20) by spectroscopic results. Confirmatory evidence in support of the structures was obtained from the labelling patterns of the compounds from cultures supplemented with sodium [1,2-13C2]acetate. Keywords: coprinolone, Δ6-coprinolone, protoilludane, sesquiterpenes, NMR.

A tricyclic diene, traversiadiene, isolated from cultures of Cercosporatraversiana has been shown to have the structure and stereochemistry of the previously postulated hydrocarbon intermediate on the biosynthetic pathway to traversianal (1). Detailed:1H and 13C magnetic resonance studies, including homo- and heteronuclear correlation spectra, led to the gross structure, and the stereochemistry was established through a series of nuclear Overhauser effect difference spectra. Keywords: diterpene, traversiadiene, 1H and 13C magnetic resonance spectra.

Nuclear Overhauser

The structure of traversianal, a tricyclic diterpenoid fungal metabolite of Cercospora traversiana, has been elucidated through detailed 1H and 13C magnetic resonance studies, including homo- and heteronuclear correlation spectra of the natural product and examination of 13C-labelled material obtained by [1,2-13C2]acetate incorporation experiments. Its stereochemistry was established from a series of nuclear Overhauser effect difference spectra. The tricyclic carbon skeleton of traversianal is that of the fusicoccin/cotylenin and ophiobolane terpenes although the oxygenation pattern closely resembles the latter. Incorporation experiments with [2,2,2-2H3, 1-13C1]acetate revealed that traversianal arises by a sequence that differs substantially from that established for the fusicoccanes but rather resembles that previously shown for the ophiobolanes, in the retention of hydride at C-2, -10, and -14. However, the opposite configuration of the methyl group at C-3 suggests that the route to traversianal involves a terminal trans-geranylgeranyl unit instead of the cis unit implicated in ophiobolin generation.

The analysis of proton nuclear Overhauser effect data for piriprost, (6,9-deepoxy)-6,9-(phenylimino)-Δ6,8 prostaglandin I1, indicates that the cyclopentene ring has the 11E conformation. A long-range nOe effect indicates that the α-chain is folded near the pyrrole and the phenyl rings.

Low temperature 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the zwitterionic and anionic carbon-bonded adducts resulting from the addition of 4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxan (DNBF) or 4,6-dinitrobenzofurazan (DNBZ) to 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene, the proton sponge PS, have been recorded at 500 MHz inDMF-d7. They reveal the presence of two conformers due to restricted rotation around the [Formula: see text] bond between C-4 of PS and the sp3 carbon C-7′ of the negatively charged DNBF− or DNBZ− moiety. The geometry of these conformers was deduced from nuclear Overhauser enhancement difference spectra. The results show that in all systems there is a large preference for the less strained s-trans type of conformation, whose population lies between 80 and 90%. An interesting feature is the dependence of the chemical shift of the peri H5 proton on the conformation. In accordance with previously reported peri effects, a significant deshielding of H5 is observed in the major conformers, where this proton is spatially close to H7′. In contrast, H5 moves upfield in the minor conformers, in which it lies in the vicinity of the DNBF− or DNBZ− moiety.
