Five Pairs of Enantiomer as Rearrangement Products from Secoiridoids in Gentiana macrophylla Pall.

ABSTRACT: Five racemates (1-5) were isolated from Gentiana macrophylla, in which 2-5 were successfully separated into four pairs of enantiomers (2a and 2b, 3a and 3b, 4a and 4b, and 5a and 5b), whereas the resolution of 1 failed due to the hemiacetal functionality at the stereogenic center. Using electronic circular dichrosim calculation, the relationship of the molecular rotation direction and the carbon R/S chirality was revealed, and each pair of enantiomer was identified as (-)-(S)-gentianmacrol B (2a) and (+)-(R)-gentianmacrol B (2b), (-)-(S)-8-methoxy-gentianol (3a) and (+)-(R)-8-methoxy-gentianol (3b), (+)-(S)-8-methyl-gentianadine (<
