Y. Konda et al., ABSOLUTE STRUCTURE OF 2'-DESACETOXYAUSTROSPICATINE ESTABLISHED BY X-RAY-ANALYSIS AND CIRCULAR-DICHROISM SPECTROSCOPY, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 42(12), 1994, pp. 2621-2624
Three taxane diterpenes, taxinine (1), taxinine B (2), and 2'-desaceto
xyaustrospicatin (3), have been isolated from Taxus cuspidata SIEB, et
Zucc. The absolute stereostructure of 3 has been determined by a comb
ination of X-ray analysis and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Co
mplete assignments of H-1- and C-13-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) s
ignals for 1 and 2 have been made on the basis of two-dimensional (2D)
NMR techniques.
