| Abstract: | Conformational analysis of 9 -acetoxycumambrine A 1 and 8-O-isobutiryl-9-acetoxycumambrine B 2 was carried out by low-temperature NMR studies. Results suggested that lactones 1 and 2 are mixtures of two distinctive conformers, I and II. Based on low-temperature 1H NMR spectra, in four solvents, the thermodynamic parameters of I  II exchange process were assessed. Energy of activation of I  II reaction was obtained by dynamic NMR simulations for both compounds. Results revealed that conformational exchange of lactones 1 and 2 occurs due to  chair twisted chair interconversion of a heptane ring. The same PM3 semiempirical method was applied for geometry optimization of lactones 1 and 2, as well as of 9-hydroxycumambrine A 3, 9-acetoxycumambrine B 4, and cumambrine B 5. |
