Abstract

The structural revision of four Stemona alkaloids from Stemona tuberosa is reported. The misassignment of the tuberostemonine O structure (1) was recognized when a new alkaloid, tuberostemonine P, was isolated and unambiguously assigned structure 1 in this work. Reinvestigation of the spectroscopic data and NMR calculations led to the revised structure 1a for tuberostemonine O. The structural misassignment of dehydrocroomine A as 2 was corrected by reinterpreting the X-ray crystal structure, which was consistent with 2a. The structural reassignments of dehydrocroomine B (3 to 3a) and dehydrocroomine (4 to 4a) were confirmed by X-ray crystallography and NMR calculations, respectively.
