Monoamidation of 1,4-diaminobenzene with alpha-chiral carboxylic acids leads to a carrier strategy for absolute stereochemical determination with bis-zinc porphyrin tweezers by exciton-coupled circular dichroism (ECCD). The helicity induced in the porphyrin tweezers upon complexation with the derivatized carrier originates from the preferred conformation of the C(carbonyl)-C(chiral) bond. Correct ECCD signs can be predicted by the rotamer that places the large group perpendicular to the carbonyl group with the small group facing the porphyrin. [reaction: see text]

Olean is the chiral spiroacetal sex pheromone of the female olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae. Laboratory tests have demonstrated that the (R)-(-)-olean enantiomer is active on males, whereas females respond to (S)-(+)-olean. Here we present the first HPLC enantioseparation of olean using polysaccharide derivatives as chiral stationary phases and a polarimetric detector equipped with a micro-flow cell capable of detecting optical rotation at six different wavelengths.

Fargesin is an important bioactive furofuran lignan isolated from different plant species. Despite presenting potent biological activities, its stereochemical characterization has relied mostly on empirical correlations of optical rotation, an approach considered risky that commonly leads to misassignments and error propagation. Additionally, the enantiomeric purity of fargesin isolates used for biological assays has not been previously investigated.

Natural products with diverse functional groups and stereogenic centers have inspired therapeutics and underpin the modern drug discovery process. Their three-dimensional molecular structures need to be unambiguously determined in order to be realized as clinical candidates or to achieve further activity-guided structural optimization. Although recent advances in spectroscopic methods have made it possible for researchers to determine the structures of microgram samples of complex natural products, there is no universally accepted method for determining the relative and absolute configuration of a naturally occurring compound.
