Guangming Yang, Weidong Li, Yang Pan, Xia Tu

Our group has previously elucidated the structure of lotusine, liensinine, isoliensinine and neferine isolated from lotus plumule (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn) by UV, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, DEPT, two-dimensional NMR, TOF-MS and EI-MS spectra.

Lotusine (1)

Chemical name for compound 1is 1-(p-hydroxybenzyl)-2,2-dimethyl-7-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6-isoquinolinol, molecular formula C19H24O3N. Colorless cubical crystals or amorphous powders (dehydrated ethanol); mp 214–215 °C; UVnm(log ):228.6(4.15) and 283.0(3.65). The former is K absorption of substituted aromatic rings by chromophores, and the later is B characteristic absorbing peak of aromatic compounds.IRcm–1:3550, 3115, 3010, and 2975[br., ν(O–H)], 1618, 1598, 1520[frame vibration of benzene ring, ν(C=C)], 1265, 1242[ν(C–O–C)], 1118, 910, 880 and840.It suggests the presence of benzene rings, hydroxyl and ether groups, without carbonyl group.Its NMR signals are completely assigned by 1H NMR (500 MHz, D2O),13C NMR(125 MHz, D2O), DEPT, HSQC, 1H–1H COSYand HMBCdata, see Table 1 and Figure 1.Positive TOF–HRMS shows molecular ion peak at m/z314.1796 (M+),ESIat m/z 269([M–45]+) and 221, and EI–MSat m/z 220 ([M–94]+), 147, 121 and 100, the fragment pathways, seeFigure2 and Figure3.
