Absolute Configuration Prediction

Inquiry

Recently, chiral phosphoramidites have demonstrated promise for a range of usage as target molecules for biologically meaningful applications as well as synthetic reagents. Numerous chiral phosphine reagents have been discovered, and significant advancements have been achieved in their use in a number of stoichiometric and catalytic asymmetric and stereoselective synthesis processes.

Any chiral compound's absolute conformation and stable conformation have a significant impact on its performance and applications. Absolute conformation is the spatial arrangement of atoms in a chiral molecule and distinguishes between right-handed and left-handed steric structures. For chiral compounds, Alfa Chemistry offers its clients absolute conformation prediction services to help them with their application research.

Based on the calculation of the natural spin activity of molecules from first principles, chiral compounds containing the appropriate chromophore electron circular dichroism (ECD) are a reliable method for determining the absolute configuration of chiral centers in natural products. Alfa Chemistry's ECD calculations via time-dependent density flood theory (TDDFT) are proving increasingly useful. These ECD TDDFT calculations are a potential method for figuring out the absolute configuration of natural products with chiral centers and can assist explain any ECD-absolute conformation interaction.

It has been effective to use TDDFT calculations for ECD spectroscopy to identify the absolute conformation in a range of natural products, from conformationally rigid to extremely flexible molecules. The latter demands the requisite time investment for computation. Additionally, we incorporate TDDFT with computer technology, which unquestionably makes TDDFT calculations for ECD a crucial component of determining the absolute conformation of any complex natural product.

ECD Calculation Method

Two phases are commonly included in ECD calculations: first, a conformational study of the molecule to identify potential conformational isomers, and then UV/ECD calculations for each potential isomer.

For the relative energy assessment of the conformational isomers, the conformational analysis is carried out using molecular mechanics or semi-empirical Monte Carlo methods. The resulting conformations are then further optimized using density flooding theory (DFT) methods, and the UV/ECD is calculated using the program using a TDDFT calculation. The predicted ECD spectra were then compared with the experimental ECD spectra of the natural products, and the averaged UV spectra were then adjusted to match the experimental UV spectra.
