“…The drastic shift perturbations of the carbons of rings C, D, E, and the D-attached tetrahydrofuran cannot be accommodated by a H(3a) configuration, since this stereochemistry, depicted in conformation 12, introduces merely a ring F/ boat form into the skeleta of the 2'-hydroxy-14-iso compounds, thus affecting, at worst, only the C(3), C(5), C( 14), C(15), and C (21) shifts. More deep-seated conformational changes must be involved in shift alteration of centers far removed from the ether-bridging site, such as the lower limit <5 values of 3, 4, 6, and 4 ppm for C(6), C(7), C(17), and C (19), respectively. Thus it appears that folicangine, subsessiline, and subsessiline lactone possess a H(3|3) configuration, as illustrated in formulas 10,11a, and lib.…”
