Abstract:
The crystal structure and the relative stereochemistry of the four asymmetric centers of an unusual C-4a hydroxylated decahydroquinolone, phenyl 1,2 alpha,3,4,-4a alpha,5 beta,6,7,8,8a alpha-decahydro-4a-hydroxy-4-oxo-2-propyl-5-vinylquinoline-1 -carboxylate, C21H27NO4, are reported. The H and OH groups at the ring juncture are cis to each other as are the two H atoms alpha to the N atom. The vinyl and OH groups are also cis to each other. The N atom is sp2 hybridized.
