Abstract
Monoselective and biselective spin-lattice relaxation rates, together with nOe [nuclear Overhauser enhancement] experiments were used to examine the configuration and conformation of the epoxypropyl side-chain of asperlin [a metabolite of Aspergillus nidulans] (1) in benzene solution. The oxirane ring is trans, and 1 is the 6R,7S diastereomer. In the most probably conformation of the side-chain about the C.sbd.5,C.sbd.6 bond, H-5 and H-6 are anti.
