Abstract

Rhamnus purshianus D. C., 10-Hydroxyaloins A/B, Oxanthrone Glucosyls, Quinonoids, Anthranoids The absolute configurations of the diastereomeric 10-hydroxyaloins, which may be regarded as parent structures for other naturally occurring oxanthrone-C-glucosyls, have been established as 10R, 16 R (A) and 10 S, 16 R (B) by an X-ray structure analysis of the A-octaacetyl derivative (C 16 is the anomeric glucosyl carbon atom). The determination was confirmed by CD spectroscopic comparison with the structural analogues aloins A and B, which should prove useful for making future configurational assignments within this class of compounds. A conformational analysis by the use of a molecular modeling method based on force-field calculations reveals the presence of an extra- and an intra-form, the extra-form of which is energetically preferred.
