Abstract

Two napelline skeletal diterpenoid alkaloids 15-acetylsongorine, C24H33NO4 I, and songoramine, C22H29NO3 II, were first isolated from the roots of Aconitum Szechenyianum Gay. The crystal structures were determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis. The crystal I is the triclinic system with space group P1 having unit cell parameters of a = 9.360(8) A, b = 11.593(9) A, c = 11.830(16) A, α = 113.223(15)°, β = 105.950(16)°, γ = 101.296(12)°, and Z = 2. Hydrogen bonds O–H···O and O–H···N joint the molecules into dimer. The crystal II belongs to the orthorhombic system with space group P212121 having unit cell parameters of a = 8.950(2) A, b = 13.272(3) A, c = 15.454(4) A and Z = 4. The O–H···O hydrogen bonding interaction links the molecule into linear chains. The distortion of rings of compound I and II were evaluated by calculation of the Cremer and Pople puckering parameters. The presence of the C–O–C bond in the compound II results in the changes of ring conformations compared with that of the compound I.
