Abstract: Optical rotation and 13C NMR computations for five natural products, vidalenolone(1), 2-(3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutyl)benzene-1,4-diol(2), 5,6,7,7a(S)-tetrahydro-2-hydroxy-1-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-3H-pyrolizin-3-one(3), 3,4-dihydro-4,8-dihydroxy-6-methoxy-7-methyl-1(2H-|naphthalenone(4) and 6-(R)-(4'-oxopentyl)-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-one(5), were performed at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ//B3LYP/6-31G(d) levels for assigning their absolute configurations. The computational results matched the experimental results well. One compound's 13C NMR chemical shifts were corrected based on the computational 13C NMR results and earliest reports.
