Abstract
The 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra of manzamine C (1) and its analogs (2-8) have been analyzed by applying HC-COSY (or HMQC) and COLOC (or HMBC) methods. The slow ring-inversion of the piperidine part in 6 was observed at room temperature. The free energy of activation for interconversion of rotamers in the amide analog (8) was evaluated.
