Dynamic stereochemistry of erigeroside by measurement of 1H-1H and 13C-1H coupling constants.
Erigeroside was extracted from Satureja khuzistanica Jamzad (Marzeh Khuzistani in Persian, family of lamiaceae), and (1)H, (13)C, (13)C{(1)H}, (1)H-(1)H COSY, HMQC and J-HMBC were obtained to identify this compound and determine a complete set of J-coupling constants ((1)J(C-H), (2)J(C-H), (3)J(C-H) and (3)J(H-H)) values within the exocyclic hydroxymethyl group (CH(2)OH) and anomeric center. In parallel, density functional theory (DFT) using B3LYP functional and split-valance 6-311++G** basis set has been used to optimized the structures and conformers of erigeroside. In all calculations solvent effects were considered using a polarized continuum (overlapping spheres) model (PCM). The dependencies of (1)J, (2)J and (3)J involving (1)H and (13)C on the C(5')-C(6') (omega), C(6')-O(6') (theta) and C(1')-O(1') (phi) torsion angles in erigeroside were computed using DFT method. Complete hyper surfaces for (1)J(C1',H1'), (2)J(C5',H6'R), (2)J(C5',H6'S), (2)J(C6',H5'), (3)J(C4',H6'R), (3)J(C4',H6'S) and (2)J(H6'R-H5'S) as well as (3)J(H5',H6'R) were obtained and used to derive Karplus equations to correlate these couplings to omega, theta and phi. These calculated J-couplings are in agreement with experimental values. These results confirm the reliability of DFT calculated coupling constants in aqueous solution.
