Abstract

The 11 β-H epimer of Azadirachtin-I, isolated from the seed kernels of Azadirachta indica A. Juss (Neem), was characterized by both NMR and X-ray crystallographic techniques. NMR data reveals that the H11 proton is in β-orientation and the X-ray studies confirm this observation. The compound crystallized in space group P21 with the cell parameters a = 11.933(2) Å, b = 7.752(5) Å, c = 17.241(9) Å, β= 106.80(3)°. Though the structural features are similar to the 11 β-H epimer of Azadirachtin-H, the orientation of the acetoxy group at C3 is different. The dihedral angle C9-C8-C14-O13, which describes the relative orientation of the modified decalin and modified furan moities of the molecule, is 23.3(8)°.
