Research Abstract |
The CD spectroscopic method is useful for non-empirical determination of the absolute configuration of chiral organic compounds, in addition to the X-ray method. We have developed the new theoretical method for determination of the absolute stereochemistry of twisted pi-electron systems, and have applied it to the natural products chemistry. (1) Efficient preparation of optically pure Wieland-Miescher ketone and confirmation of its absolute stereochemistry by the CD exciton chirality method. (2) Crystalline structure and absolute stereochemistry of chloromonilicin, a growth selfinhibitor produced by Monilinia fructicola, determined by X-ray and CD methods. (3) Total synthesis of (+)-xestoquinone, an cardiotonic marine natural product, and determination of its absolute stereochemistry. (4) Synthesis, CD, and absolute stereochemistry of optically active 9, 9'-spirobifluorene and[6, 6]-vespirene derivatives with polyscene chromophores. (5) Synthesis of chiral spiro[3.3]heptane compounds and de
