Abstract

Both possible 6-N-oxides of agroclavine (I) and elymoclavine (II) were prepared by hydrogen peroxide oxidation. Their 1H and 13C NMR spectra were assigned and the conformation of the D ring (half-chair) was determined. Absolute configuration at 6-N was established by NMR and molecular modelling.
