A 13C and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance study of some diastereoisomeric homoeburnane derivatives
Abstract
Several 14-hydroxy-E-homoeburnane diastereoisomers have been synthesized and studied by 1H and 13C n.m r spectroscopy. The relative configurations and predominating conformations have been established. It has been shown that previous assignments of C-17 and C-20 signals of trans-D/E-ring-fused Vinca alkaloids must be reversed.
