Abstract
Diepoxin-η (1) is a cytotoxic fungal metabolite belonging to the spirobisnaphthalene structural class. In this study, four mono fluorinated analogues (2-5) of diepoxin-η (1) were semisynthesized in a single-step by selectively fluorinating the naphthalene moiety with Selectfluor. The structures of 2-5 were elucidated using a set of spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques and were further confirmed by means of TDDFT-ECD and isotropic shielding tensors calculations. Compounds 2-5 showed equipotent cytotoxic activity to 1 when tested against OVCAR3 (ovarian) and MDA-MB-435 (melanoma) cancer cell lines with IC50 values that range from 5.7-8.2 μM.

Abstract
In this paper the calculation of the optical rotation (OR) of some rigid organic molecules, using the Hartree-Fock method with small (6-31G, DZP) basis sets, has been studied thoroughly to carefully evaluate the scope and limitations of this method, previously introduced by other authors. Calculations on test molecules (compounds 1-13) together with a careful analysis of their CD spectra allow a simple criterion for the reliability of this approach to be formulated: for unsaturated and/or aromatic (i.e., absorbing in the near-UV region) molecules, if the [alpha](D) is quantitatively determined by the lowest energy Cotton effect (at wavelengths >220 nm), then the HF/6-31G result is reliable. The usefulness of this method for the experimental organic chemist has been further demonstrated because the OR (sign and order of magnitude) of compounds 14-19 (i.e., large molecules having considerable interest in organic chemistry), which fulfill the above criterion and for which an extended basis set treatment is not feasible owing to their size, is correctly predicted.

Abstract
The total syntheses of eight members of the palmarumycin family have been achieved, with identification of the absolute stereochemistry for three of these natural products. In addition, the ras-farnesyl transferase inhibitor (-)-preussomerin G has been synthesized, achieving the first enantioselective route for accessing this family of natural products. Highlights of the synthetic work include an asymmetric epoxidation of a cyclic enone in excellent yield and enantiomeric excess and a potentially biomimetic oxidative spirocyclization for the introduction of the bis-spiroketal array unique to the preussomerin natural products.
