Structure Elucidation and Synthesis

The PMR spectrum of baluchistanamine exhibits signals for an amine N-methyl, an amide A-methyl, three methoxyl groups, ten aromatic protons, and one aldehydic proton. On the supposition that baluchistanamine is derived biogenetically from oxyacanthine, also found in B. baluchistanica, the latter base was oxidized with permanganate in acetone to afford, in low S%) yield, a product identical with baluchistanamine. 

It has been indicated that isoquinolone alkaloids originate in plants from oxidation of simple benzylisoquinolines. A parallel assumption is that hernan-daline is formed by oxidation of a thalicarpine-type aporphine-benzyliso-quinoline. It is self-evident from the structure of baluchistanamine that in vivo oxidation of an oxyacanthine type alkaloid to an isoquinolone-benzyliso-quinoline dimer, as well as of a simple monomeric benzylisoquinoline to an isoquinolone, is an intrinsic feature of the alkaloidal catabolic process within B. baluchistanica. 

A relevant and very recent development is the isolation and characterization by Beal, Doskotch, and co-workers, of the new alkaloid ( + )-thaliadine from Thalictrum minus L. race B (Ranunculaceae). This alkaloid is accompanied in the plant by such aporphine-benzylisoquinoline dimers as (-h)-adiantifoline, (+)-desmethyladiantifoline, and (-h)-thaliadanine (Sec. 12.1), and must be formed from their oxidative degradation.  

The protons on the aldehyde-bearing ring of baluchistanamine form a complex ABX pattern centered about 87.38. The methoxyl singlets are at 83.62, 3.85, and 3.92. The PMR chemical shifts for baluchistanamine are indicated below.

These questions fall into the domains of structure-activity relationships, structure elucidation, and synthesis design, respectively. They all ask for new information not yet known explicitly. That is, they require predictions.

Structure Elucidation and Synthesis of the Lignans from the Seeds of Hernandia ovigera L. 

In recent years, new improved methods and techniques used for the isolation of compounds from plant materials, structure elucidation and determination of their biological activity have been developed, and studies in these fields are rapidly progressing. This article comprises a review on the structure elucidation and synthesis of new lignans from the seeds of these plants, research on which has been carried out by the author and co-workers.

Since myo-inositol (l) was first discovered by Scherer (j ) in 1850 as a component of meat extract, the compound and its isomers and analogues, known collectively as cyclitols, have been the objects of intense study by both chemists and biochemists. During the first century following the discovery of myo-inositol (l), chemists, including Posternak, Angyal, and L. Anderson, devoted much effort to structure elucidation and synthesis of these compounds. By 1957 every diastereomer of myo-inositol (l) had been synthesized [cia-...

Dr. Mukund Chorghade then introduces readers to the field of process chemistry the quest for the elucidation of novel, cost-effective, and scalable routes for production of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The medicinal chemistry routes used in the past have often involved the use of cryogenic reactions, unstable intermediates, and hazardous or expensive reagents. A case smdy of the development of a process for an antiepileptic drug is presented readers will also see how problems in the isolation, structure elucidation, and synthesis of metabolites were circumvented. Described is an interesting application of the technology of metalloporphyrins assisted metabolite prediction, estimation, quantitation and synthesis.
