The crystal structure of coclaurine hydrobromide monohydrate and the absolute configuration of coclaurine.
Abstract The structure and absolute configuration of coclaurine has been determined by X-ray analysis of its hydrobromide monohydrate. The (+)-enantiomer has the D-configuration. The chirality of the molecular structure is correlated with circular dichroism measurements.
Sterical correlation of (+)-armepavine and (+)-laudanidine
Abstract (+)-O-Methylarmepavine and (+)-laudanidine have been sterically correlated through their preparation from a common optically active intermediate. It follows that the asymmetric carbon atom in natural (−)-armepavine has the R configuration.
Lupin alkaloids from teratogenic and nonteratogenic lupins. II. Identification of the major alkaloids by tandem gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in plants producing crooked calf disease.
The major alkaloids of lupin plants producing crooked calf disease were identified by tandem gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and infrared analysis. The gas chromatography peak invariably present in teratogenic plants proved to be anagyrine. A minor but irregular contaminant of the peak was α-isolupanine. Other alkaloids present but apparently not associated with crooked calf disease were lupanine and two others that were probably epimethoxylupanine and 5,6-dehydrolupanine.
