Peyssonnosides A-B, Unusual Diterpene Glycosides with a Sterically Encumbered Cyclopropane Motif: Structure Elucidation Using an Integrated Spectroscopic and Computational Workflow.

ABSTRACT: Two sulfated diterpene glycosides featuring a highly substituted and sterically encumbered cyclopropane ring have been isolated from the marine red alga Peyssonnelia sp. Combination of a wide array of 2D NMR spectroscopic experiments, in a systematic structure elucidation workflow, revealed that peyssonnosides A-B (1-2) represent a new class of diterpene glycosides with a tetracyclo [7.5.0.0^1,10.0^5,9] tetradecane architecture. A salient feature of this workflow is the unique application of quantitative interproton distances obtained from the rotating frame Overhauser effect spectroscopy (ROESY) NMR experiment, wherein the β-d-glucose moiety of 1 was used as an internal probe to unequivocally determine the absolute configuration, which was also supported by optical rot
