Abstract
The molecular structure of 2-bromo-11-ethyl-5,9-dimethoxytetracyclo[5.4.1.14,12•18,11]tetradecan-3-one, C18H27BrO3, synthesized in an attempt to develop a method of conversion from an advanced relay compound to the alkaloid delphinine, has been determined by the heavy atom method. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c, with unit cell dimensions a = 9.684(9), b = 13.481(15), c = 12.988(14) Å, β = 99.47(7)°, and four molecules in the unit cell. The atomic parameters were refined by block-diagonal least squares using anisotropic thermal parameters. The hydrogen atom positions were established but the parameters were not refined. The final agreement residual for 816 observed reflections is R = 0.044.The stereochemistry of the compound was found to be unsuitable for the delphinine synthesis.
