The absolute configuration of the papaya alkaloid carpaine has been determined. Carpaine was degraded to (fi)-(—)-3-tetradecanol. The absolute configuration of (R)-(—)-3-tetradecanol was shown by its prepara-tion from (R)-(+)-l, 2-epoxybutane. The (R)-(+)-l, 2-epoxybutane was reduced to (S)-(+)-2-butanol, the absolute configuration of which is known. The stereochemistry of related compounds is discussed.The structure of the alkaloid carpaine (1) has been investigated by a number of workers. Rapoport and co-workers3 and Govindachari andco-workers4 5have established the gross structure of the alkaloid. Govindachari and Narasimhan6 provided convincing proof that the methyl group and the alkyl side chain are cis to each other on the piperidine ring. Tichy and Sicher6 used infrared techniques to show that the hydroxyl group of methyl carpamate is axial on the piperi-dine ring. All this evidence was interpreted in favor of a relative configuration for carpaine in which all the groups attached to the piperidinering are cis. A recent investigation7 using mass spectral techniques has shown that carpaine consists of two identical substituted
