The Haasnoot equation was used to determine HCCH spectroscopy dihedral angl
es from H-1 NMR spectroscopy in tricyclic quinolizidine-piperidine alkaloid
s in solution: seco(11,12)- 12,13-didehydromultiflorine (1), seco(11,13-)-
5,6-didehydromultiflorine (2) and angustifoline (3). Ring C in the three al
kaloids has quite a regular chair conformation. Ring B is a flattened chair
in 1 and 3 and a sofa in 2. The geometry of 2 is similar to that of cytisi
ne (4). (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
