G. Bringmann et al., The absolute configuration of(+)-isoshinanolone and in situ LC-CD analysisof its stereoisomers from crude extracts, PHYTOCHEM, 56(4), 2001, pp. 387-391
The absolute configuration of(+)-isoshinanolone, a wide-spread acetogenic m
etabolite from higher plants, has been determined by X-ray structure analys
is of its new dibromide; accordingly, this natural tetralone is 3R,4R-confi
gured, in agreement with previous degradative results. In addition, a first
chiroptical on-line stereoanalysis for isoshinanolones is presented, i.a.
by HPLC on a chiral phase coupled to CD spectroscopy, giving pure CD spectr
a of all of the four stereoisomers of isoshinanolone directly from stereois
omeric mixtures. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
