Metabolites of bird's nest fungi. Part 10. Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance studies on the cyathins

Abstract

The carbon-13 magnetic resonance spectra of cyathin A3 and several related compounds have been measured and the chemical shifts have been assigned. The chemical shift data have been used to determine the stereochemistry at C-1 in cyafrin A4 and to determine the position of the bromine in 1-bromoallocyathin A3 methyl acetal.
