摘要:
The stereochemistry of the iridoid plumeridoid C, C15H18O7, was established by X-ray single-crystal structure analysis, giving (2'R,3R,4R,4aS,7aR)-methyl 3-hydroxy-4'-[(S)-1-hydroxy-ethyl]-5'-oxo-3,4,4a,7a-tetrahydro-1H,5'H-spiro[cyclopenta[c]pyran-7,2'-furan]-4-carboxylate. The absolute structure of the title compound was determined on the basis of the Flack x parameter and Bayesian statistics on Bijvoet differences. The hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor functions of the two hydroxy groups are employed in the formation of O-H center dot center dot center dot O-bonded helical chains.
