The NMR spectral analysis of voacangine hydroxyindolenine (2) and of some synthetic derivatives, together with mechanistic considerations, permitted to establish its absolute configuration at C(7) as (R). The configuration at C(7) in hydroxyindolenines of the ibogamine series is also discussed and would be (S).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
