Abstract
The synthesis of the biologically active alkaloid simulenoline, isolated from the roots of Zanthoxylum simulans, is reported. The natural product was assembled from simple commercial reagents via initial domino Knoevenagel/oxa-6π-electrocyclization followed by a one-pot singlet-oxygen ene-reaction/reduction sequence. New insights of singlet oxygen reactivity with olefinic substrates have been revealed.

Abstract
The natural product zanthosimuline and its 18 analogues were easily prepared from simple starting materials and evaluated in vitro against postharvest fruit fungal pathogens. The panel included Penicillium digitatum, Botrytis cinerea, Monilinia fructicola, and Rhizopus stolonifer; all of them causing relevant economic losses worldwide. The minimum inhibitory concentrations and minimum fungicidal concentrations of each compound were determined, and the main structure-activity relationships were established. The biological activity observed was strongly increased by maintaining the prenyl side chain of zanthosimuline in an N-demethylated derivative. In addition, the compound that is the most active in the in vitro evaluation was tested in freshly harvested peaches exhibiting a promising brown rot control profile, comparable to the commercial agent carbendazim but demonstrating less toxicity against human liver cell lines.

Abstract
Two functionalized [6]carbohelicenes, one of which was also available in its two enantiomeric pure forms, were oriented in stretched polystyrene in CDCl3 , and in a recently introduced chiral thermoresponsive lyotropic polyaspartate (poly(benzyl)0.5 (phenethyl)0.5 -L-aspartate) in C2 D2 Cl4 . From the resulting 1 H,13 C residual dipolar couplings, the helical pitch of a methylated [6]carbohelicene was determined and found to be in agreement with theoretical predictions and existing crystal structures (d(C2,C2') ≈ 4.3 Å). For a second [6]carbohelicene with para-methoxyphenyl substituents, a clear conformational preference of the substituents was observed. The orientational properties of the two helicene enantiomers in the chiral polyaspartate are very similar, but both drastically change around 306 K. We suggest this behavior is due to an unusual phase transition in the liquid crystal.

Abstract
The photochemical behavior of several dienones was studied under aerobic conditions. 2-Allylidene-1,3-cycloalkanediones prepared via Knoevenagel-type condensation between simple readily available 1,3-dicarbonyl substrates and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes afforded 1,2,4-trioxane derivatives upon UVA irradiation in the presence of oxygen. This domino self-sensitized photooxygenation cascade of conjugated carbonyl systems proceeds stereoselectively and involves the formation of two new oxa-cycles, three new bonds (two C-O), and three stereocenters.

Abstract
Structure elucidation of complex natural products and new organic compounds remains a challenging problem. To support this endeavor, CASE (computer-assisted structure elucidation) expert systems were developed. These systems are capable of generating a set of all possible structures consistent with an ensemble of 2D NMR data followed by selection of the most probable structure on the basis of empirical NMR chemical shift prediction. However, in some cases, empirical chemical shift prediction is incapable of distinguishing the correct structure. Herein, we demonstrate for the first time that the combination of CASE and density functional theory (DFT) methods for NMR chemical shift prediction allows the determination of the correct structure even in difficult situations. An expert system, ACD/Structure Elucidator, was used for the CASE analysis. This approach has been tested on three challenging natural products: aquatolide, coniothyrione, and chiral epoxyroussoenone. This work has demonstrated that the proposed synergistic approach is an unbiased, reliable, and very efficient structure verification and de novo structure elucidation method that can be applied to difficult structural problems when other experimental methods would be difficult or impossible to use.

Abstract
Despite the tremendous usage of HMBC to establish long-range (1) H-(13) C and (1) H-(15) N heteronuclear correlations, an inherent drawback of the experiment is the indeterminate nature of the (n) JXH correlations afforded by the experiment. A priori there is no reliable way of determining whether a given (n) JCH correlation is, for example, via two-, three-, or sometimes even four-bonds. This limitation of the HMBC experiment spurred the development of the ADEQUATE family of NMR experiments that rely on, in the case of 1,1-ADEQUATE, an out-and-back transfer of magnetization via the (1) JCC homonuclear coupling constant, which is significantly larger than (n) JCC (where n = 2-4) couplings in most cases. Hence, the 1,1-ADEQUATE experiment has generally been assumed to unequivocally provide the equivalent of (2) JCH correlations. The recent development of the 1,1- and 1,n-HD-ADEQUATE experiments that can provide homodecoupling for certain (1) JCC and (n) JCC correlations has increased the sensitivity of the ADEQUATE experiments significantly and can allow acquisition of these data in a fraction of the time required for the original iterations of this pulse sequence. With these gains in sensitivity, however, there occasionally come unanticipated consequences. We have observed that the collapse of proton multiplets, in addition to providing better s/n for the desired (1) JCC correlations can facilitate the observation of typically weaker (2) JCC correlations across intervening carbonyl resonances in 1,1-HD-ADEQUATE spectra. Several examples are shown, with the results supported by the measurement of the (2) JCC coupling constants in question using J-modulated-HD-ADEQUATE and DFT calculations.

Abstract
The DP4 probability is one of the most sophisticated and popular approaches for the stereochemical assignment of organic molecules using GIAO NMR chemical shift calculations when only one set of experimental data is available. In order to improve the performance of the method, we have developed a modified probability (DP4+), whose main differences from the original DP4 are the inclusion of unscaled data and the use of higher levels of theory for the NMR calculation procedure. With these modifications, a significant improvement in the overall performance was achieved, providing accurate and confident results in establishing the stereochemistry of 48 challenging isomeric compounds.
