Abstract

Four isomers of terguride, a semisynthetic ergot alkaloid derivative, have been prepared by catalytic hydrogenation of (5R,8S)- and (5S,8S)-lisuride [1,1-diethyl-3-(6-methyl-8-ergolenyl)urea]. Relative stereochemistry of the isomers is based on NMR and CD spectra. Absolute configuration of all the series has been confirmed by the X-ray crystal structure determination of (5R,8S,10S)-terguride 2-bromobenzoate [1,1-diethyl-3-(6-methyl-8-isoergolenyl)urea, cis-dihydrolisuride].

Keywords: Tergurides; Ergot alkaloids; Crystal structure determination; NMR spectroscopy; Absolute configuration.
