ChemInform Abstract
Computational, X-ray diffraction, and NMR studies show that monastrol (I) is a conformationally mobile heterocyclic system with no clear preference for one of the four distinct conformers. Resolution of the racemate is achieved by direct enantioselective HPLC. The absolute configuration of the first eluting (S)-(+)-enantiomer is established by CD spectroscopy.
