Abstract
Conformational analysis studied by 2D NMR techniques and X-ray diffraction methods are reported for the semisynthetic ergot alkaloid - terguride, in the form of free base and as the protonated species. The structure of terguride hydrogen maleate monohydrate (C20H29N4O)+(C4H3O4)- . H2O (II) was solved by direct methods and refined anisotropically to an Rvalue of 0.068 for 1 991 unique observed reflections. The title compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with lattice parameters a = 7.061(2), b = 9.205(1), c = 12.223(4) Å, α = 96.36(2), β = 107.15(2), γ = 106.67(1)°. Studies revealed that terguride monohydrate (I) and its protonized form (terguride hydrogen maleate monohydrate) possesses the identical conformations both in solutions and in the solid state - an envelope for C and Chair for D ergoline rings.
