Structure elucidation and NMR assignments for two amide alkaloids from a Mangrove endophytic Fungus (No. ZZF‐22)

Abstract

The structure elucidations and complete (1)H and (13)C NMR assignments are reported for two new natural products: 3-benzylidene-8,8a-dihydroxy-2-methyl-hexahydro-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4-dione(1) and 4-hydroxy-6-(hydroxy-phenyl-methyl)-N-(3-methyl-butyryl)-nicotinamide (2). Both of these secondary metabolites were isolated from the fermentation medium of a Mangrove endophytic fungus. High resolution electron impact mass spectrometry (HREIMS), FT-IR Spectroscopy and NMR experiments including gCOSY, gHMQC, gHMBC and NOE were used for determination of the structures and assignments of the amide alkaloids.
