A complete analysis of 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra of the trypanocidal sesquiterpene lactone eremantholide C and two of its analogues is described. These structurally similar sesquiterpene lactones were submitted to 1 H NMR, 13 C { 1 H} NMR, gCOSY, gHSQC, gHMBC, J‐resolved and DPFGSE‐NOE NMR techniques. The detailed analysis of those results, correlated to some computational calculations (molecular mechanics), led to the total and unequivocal assignment of all 1 H and 13 C NMR data. The determination of all 1 H/ 1 H coupling constants and all signal multiplicities, together with the elimination of previous ambiguities were also achieved. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
