Abstract: | The Strychnos alkaloids have been the focal point of considerable synthetic and spectroscopic effort. We now report the 15N chemical shifts and long-range 1H-15N coupling pathways of strychnine, brucine, and holstiine at natural abundance. Long-range coupling pathways were established using a gradient-enhanced HMQC sequence optimized for the observation of 1H-15N long-range couplings. |
