Abstract

The bark of the roots of Piscidia carthagenensis afforded the known insecticides rotenone (1) and millettone (2), as well as the new rotenoid piscicartone (3). The structure of 3 followed from nuclear magnetic resonance studies, while its absolute configuration (AC) was determined by vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) measurements in comparison with discrete Fourier transform B3LYP/DGDZVPcalculated spectra using the CompareVOA software. In addition, the AC of 1 and 2 was verified using the same VCD methodology.
