Abstract:

In order to study the absolute configuration of natural product, some compounds of undetermined absolute configuration were screened, the optical rotation(OR), 13C NMR and 1H NMR data were gotten by density functional theory(DFT) at different computational levels. The computational results matched the experimental results well. The results show that the PCM solvent model could improve the accuracy of computed optical rotation for the rigid alkaloid molecules but not be applicable to flexible ones. Therefore, the chira-lity centers of these alkaloids were determined.

Key words: Natural product, Alkaloid, Density functional theory, Optical rotation, Absolute configuration
