“…The IR spectrum revealed the presence of hydroxy (3466 cm –1 ) and carbonyl groups (1744 cm –1 ). The 1 H and 13 C NMR data (Tables and ) with the aid of the HSQC spectrum displayed the presence of a keto carbonyl (δ C 215.8, C-7), an enol ether moiety [δ H 6.47 (s), δ C 142.1, CH-3 and δ C 111.3, C-4], a hemiacetal methine [δ H 6.34 (d, J = 3.4 Hz), δ C 87.5, CH-1], an oxygenated quaternary carbon (δ C 78.0, C-8), two oxygenated methylenes [δ H 3.82 (d, J = 12.3 Hz) and 3.78 (d, J = 12.3 Hz), δ C 63.4, CH 2 -10; δ H 4.68 (d, J = 12.5 Hz) and 4.43 (d, J = 12.5 Hz), δ C 63.7, CH 2 -11], two aliphatic methines [δ H 3.20 (ddd, J = 9.5, 8.6, 4.5 Hz), δ C 26.0, CH-5 and δ H 2.70 (dd, J = 8.6, 3.4 Hz), δ C 45.6, CH-9], and an aliphatic methylene [δ H 2.76 (dd, J = 19.5, 9.5 Hz) and 2.62 (dd, J = 19.5, 4.5 Hz), δ C 38.8, CH 2 -6], suggesting that 1 is a typical iridoid of the genus Viburnum . − The iridoid skeleton was then confirmed by 2D NMR spectroscopic data analysis (Figure ). The 1 H– 1 H COSY correlations of H-1/H-9, H-9/H-5, and H-5/H 2 -6 indicated the connections of these proton-linked carbons as shown in Figure .…”
