Abstract
The present volume is the third in a trilogy that documents naturally occurring organohalogen compounds, bringing the total number-from fewer than 25 in 1968-to approximately 8000 compounds to date. Nearly all of these natural products contain chlorine or bromine, with a few containing iodine and, fewer still, fluorine. Produced by ubiquitous marine (algae, sponges, corals, bryozoa, nudibranchs, fungi, bacteria) and terrestrial organisms (plants, fungi, bacteria, insects, higher animals) and universal abiotic processes (volcanos, forest fires, geothermal events), organohalogens pervade the global ecosystem. Newly identified extraterrestrial sources are also documented. In addition to chemical structures, biological activity, biohalogenation, biodegradation, natural function, and future outlook are presented.

Abstract
Using NMR data, the assignment of the correct 3D configuration and conformation to unknown natural products is of pivotal importance in pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry. In this report, we quantify the probability of configurational assignments to judge the quality of structural elucidations using Bayesian inference in combination with floating-chirality distance geometry simulations. Based on reference-free NOE/ROE data, residual dipolar couplings (RDCs), and residual quadrupolar couplings (RQCs) in various combinations, we demonstrate how the relative configurations of three natural compounds, namely, jatrohemiketal (1), artemisinin (2), and Taxol (3), can be unambiguously established without the necessity to carry out time-consuming DFT-based configurational and conformational analyses. Our results quantitatively describe how reliably molecular geometries can be inferred from experimental NMR data, thereby unequivocally unveiling remaining assignment ambiguities. The methodology presented here will dramatically reduce the risk of incorrect structural assignments based on the overinterpretation of incomplete data and DFT-based structure models in chemistry.

In this report, we quantify the quality and probability of structural elucidations using Bayesian inference in combination with floating chirality distance geometry simulations. Here, we will discuss the configurational analysis of three complex natural products including isopinocampheol (1), plakilactone H (2), and iodocallophycoic acid A (3) using NMR restraints of various types and in different combinations (residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) and NOE-derived distances). Our results quantitatively demonstrate how reliably molecular geometries can be inferred from experimental NMR data, unequivocally unveiling remaining assignment ambiguities.

Abstract
Floating chirality restrained distance geometry (fc-rDG) calculations are used to directly evolve structures from NMR data such as NOE-derived intramolecular distances or anisotropic residual dipolar couplings (RDCs). In contrast to evaluating pre-calculated structures against NMR restraints, multiple configurations (diastereomers) and conformations are generated automatically within the experimental limits. In this report, we show that the "unphysical" rDG pseudo energies defined from NMR violations bear statistical significance, which allows assigning probabilities to configurational assignments made that are fully compatible with the method of Bayesian inference. These "diastereomeric differentiabilities" then even become almost independent of the actual values of the force constants used to model the restraints originating from NOE or RDC data.

Abstract
The NMR-based configurational analysis of complex marine natural products is still not a routine task. Different NMR parameters are used for the assignment of the relative configuration: NOE/ROE, homo- and heteronuclear J couplings as well as anisotropic parameters. The combined distance geometry (DG) and distance bounds driven dynamics (DDD) method allows a model-free approach for the determination of the relative configuration that is invariant to the choice of an initial starting structure and does not rely on comparisons with (DFT) calculated structures. Here, we will discuss the configurational analysis of five complex marine natural products or synthetic derivatives thereof: the cis-palau’amine derivatives 1a and 1b, tetrabromostyloguanidine (1c), plakilactone H (2), and manzamine A (3). The certainty of configurational assignments is evaluated in view of the accuracy of the NOE/ROE data available. These case studies will show the prospective breadth of application of the DG/DDD method.

Abstract
The configurational analysis of complex natural products by NMR spectroscopy is still a challenging task. The assignment of the relative configuration is usually carried out by analysis of interproton distances from NOESY or ROESY spectra (qualitative or quantitative) and scalar (J) couplings. About 15 years ago, residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) were introduced as a tool for the configurational determination of small organic molecules. In contrast to NOEs/ROEs which are local parameters (distances up to 400 pm can be detected for small organic molecules), RDCs are global parameters which allow to obtain structural information also from long-range relationships. RDCs have the disadvantage that the sample needs a setup in an alignment medium in order to obtain the required anisotropic environment. Here, we will discuss the configurational analysis of five complex natural products: axinellamine A (1), tetrabromostyloguanidine (2), 3,7-epi-massadine chloride (3), tubocurarine (4), and vincristine (5). Compounds 1-3 are marine natural products whereas 4 and 5 are from terrestrial sources. The chosen examples will carefully work out the limitations of NOEs/ROEs in the configurational analysis of natural products and will also provide an outlook on the information obtained from RDCs.

Abstract
Two independent statistical models for evaluating the certainties of configurational assignments of compounds based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data are evaluated and compared. Both methods yield weights or probabilities with which two or more structure models (constitutional or configurational isomers or even conformers) could be differentiated based on experimental parameters. Although this paper focusses on the use of residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) for the differentiation of diastereomers, the concept can be expanded to any set of experimental NMR-derived parameters. It is demonstrated that highly reliable configurational assignments crucially must depend on thorough statistical analysis, which is frequently neglected in the literature.

Abstract
A new method implemented into a computer program (ConArch+ ) has been developed and applied to demonstrate the successful implementation of residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) in distance geometry (DG) calculations for the configurational assignment of chiral compounds. Unlike established protocols, the new approach combines floating chirality (fc) in 4D- and 3D-distance bounds driven dynamics (DDD) calculations with structural information from RDCs. Thus, relative configurations of chiral compounds were generated only by observables (e.g., NOEs, RDCs) rendering tedious evaluations of calculated structures against RDCs obsolete. We demonstrate the potential of this novel procedure by the simultaneous determination of the configuration and the conformation of three natural products, (-)-isopinocampheol (1), tubocurarine (2), and vincristine (3), as well as for diisopropylidene-β-d-fructopyranose (4).

Abstract
The carbocyclic core of massadine has been synthesized relying on a stereoselective formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition of lithiumtrimethylsilyldiazomethane with α,β-unsaturated esters to form a Δ(2)-pyrazoline moiety followed by facile N-N bond cleavage. A unique feature of the current approach is the direct installation of the tertiary α-amino center and a β-cyano group in a cis arrangement on the resulting cyclopentane framework via a previously developed formal aminocyanation protocol.
