“…The position of hydroxy group at A ring was characterized by HSQC (3. [18] Furthermore, by analysis of the 13 C-NMR spectrum of 1, the characteristic signals for C(3), C(5), C(6), C(22), C(25), and C(26) (d(C) 78.8, 147.4, 127.4, 108.9, 31.4, and 66.4) indicated that the configuration of the aglycone of 1 was in good accordance with that of (3b,25S)-spirost-5-en-3-yl b-D-glucopyranoside. [18 -21] The configuration at C(22) was confirmed to be (S), based on the comparison of the 13 C-NMR data of C (22) and NMR data of C(23), C(24), C (25), and C (26). [19] [21] This supposition was confirmed by 2D-NMR experiments (HSQC, HMBC, COSY, NOESY).…”
