“…These correlations were consistent with the presence of a purine residue which was further conrmed by NMR data comparison with related natural products containing the same residue such as dapiramicins A and B. 27,28 Crucial HMBC correlations from the anomeric proton (H-1 0 ) to the quaternary carbon (C-2) indicated that fragment A and B are connected through a nitrogen atom. 3) displayed eight resonances attributable to two sp 3 -hybridized methylenes at d H 4.12 (2H, s, H-7) and six sp 2 -hybridized methines at d H 7.31 (2H, dd, J ¼ 7.9, 5.6 Hz, H-2), 7.19 (2H, dd, J ¼ 7.3, 5.6 Hz, H-3), 7.28 (1H, dd, J ¼ 7.9, 5.6 Hz, H-4), 8.46 (1H, s, H-9).…”
