The DFT method has become a promising alternative in the support of traditional NMR experimental techniques, comparing experimental data with theoretical data, thereby achieving accurate and satisfactory results. In the present study, the experimental data of two diterpenes were compared to the theoretical data obtained by the GIAO method, applying DFT at the B3LYP/cc-pVDZ and B3PW91/DGDZVP levels to verify the degree of correlation, significance and predictability of the models obtained with the purpose of proving which of the computational methods is the most efficient for this class of substances. The theoretical NMR values obtained at B3LYP/cc-pVDZ were the more satisfactory, showing better linear correlations, presenting greater degrees of adjustments, significance and predictability compared to the B3PW91/DGDZVP method. Thus, these values were used to define H? and H? 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 for diterpene 1 and 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 for diterpene 2, which was not possible using experimental data. This showed that the quantum method used could help in the structural elucidation of natural products.

This is a theoretical-experimental work, where the focus molecule of the study is savinine, a lignan of the dibenzylbutyrolactonic type, substances that can be found in several genera, one of which has a greater occurrence is the genus Acanthopanax (Araliaceae) which is traditionally used as an analgesic and immune system stimulant, in addition to exhibiting a potent insecticidal and cytotoxic activity for human colon carcinoma HCT116 cells. It was isolated and here we present its experimental and theoretical characterization by means of 13C and 1H NMR data and the possible confirmation of the structure using the neural network tool (ANN-PRA). The objective of this work is to use theoretical calculations of 13C and 1H NMR and experimental data for the resolution of the savinine structure, and the use of the neural network tool (ANN-PRA) to confirm the structure of the molecule.

1H-NMR data of 25 cinnamoylphenethylamine derivates were recorded and compared in order to assign signals unequivocally without additional spectroscopic data. The spectra provide a key for the rapid identification of these ubiquitous natural products. The compounds isomerize rapidly in UV light, producing a characteristic upfield shift of the olefinic protons consistent with distorted planarity of the Cis cinnamate, and this requires special attention during preparative work.

The paper presents the synthesis of cyclo (bis-paraquat p-phenylene p-phenylene-carbonyl) tetrakis (hexafluorophosphate), named �CETOBOX�, and the closely related structural determinations. This compound exists in three tautomeric forms. These forms were evidentiated by NMR-data (1H-NMR, TOCSY, COSY, NOESY), UV-Vis spectra coupled with pH measurements and by synthesis. As the �CETOBOX� gives �in situ� only the corresponding monoylide, the synthesis of a new fluorescent indolizine cyclophane has been performed by a 3+2 cycloaddition. All structures of the new compounds presented herein have been established by NMR spectroscopy. Also, theoretical methods (MM3, AM1, AM1-COSMO and B88LYPDFT) have been used to determine the most stable conformer structures.

Natural flavor and fragrance market size is expected to grow steadily due to the rising consumer demand of natural ingredients. This market request is guided by the general opinion that the production of natural compounds leads to a reduction of pollution, with inherent advantages for the environment and people’s health. The biotransformation reactions have gained high relevance in the production of natural products. In this context, few pieces of research have described the role of microalgae in the oxidation of terpenoids. In this present study, we questioned the role of microalgal based oxidation in the synthesis of high-value flavors and fragrances. This study investigated the role of three different microalgae strains, Chlorella sp. (211.8b and 211.8p) and Chlorococcum sp. (JB3), in the oxidation of different terpenoid substrates: α-ionone, β-ionone, theaspirane and valencene. Unfortunately, the experimental data showed that the microalgal strains used are not responsible for the substrate oxidation. In fact, our experiments demonstrate that the transformation of the four starting compounds is a photochemical reaction that involves the oxygen as oxidant. Even though these findings cast a shadow on the use of these microorganisms for an industrial purpose, they open a new possible strategy to easily obtain nootkatone in a natural way by just using an aqueous medium, oxygen and light.

Analysis and systematization of accumulated data on carbohydrate structural diversity is a subject of great interest for structural glycobiology. Despite being a challenging task, development of computational methods for efficient treatment and management of spatial (3D) structural features of carbohydrates breaks new ground in modern glycoscience. This review is dedicated to approaches of chemo- and glyco-informatics towards 3D structural data generation, deposition and processing in regard to carbohydrates and their derivatives. Databases, molecular modeling and experimental data validation services, and structure visualization facilities developed for last five years are reviewed.

According to several known experiments, an increase of the incoming flow air content can increase the hydrofoil lift coefficient. The presented theoretical study shows that such increase is associated with the decrease of the fluid density at the cavity surface. This decrease is caused by entrainment of air bubbles to the cavity from the surrounding flow. The theoretical results based on such explanation are in a good agreement with the earlier published experimental data for NACA0015.

This study is an evaluation of the computational methods in reproducing experimental data for a generic sports utility vehicle (SUV) geometry and an assessment on the influence of fixed and rotating wheels for this geometry. Initially, comparisons are made in the wake structure and base pressures between several CFD codes and experimental data. It was shown that steady-state RANS methods are unsuitable for this geometry due to a large scale unsteadiness in the wake caused by separation at the sharp trailing edge and rear wheel wake interactions. unsteady RANS (URANS) offered no improvements in wake prediction despite a significant increase in computational cost. The detached-eddy simulation (DES) and Lattice–Boltzmann methods showed the best agreement with the experimental results in both the wake structure and base pressure, with LBM running in approximately a fifth of the time for DES. The study then continues by analysing the influence of rotating wheels and a moving ground plane over a fixed wheel and ground plane arrangement. The introduction of wheel rotation and a moving ground was shown to increase the base pressure and reduce the drag acting on the vehicle when compared to the fixed case. However, when compared to the experimental standoff case, variations in drag and lift coefficients were minimal but misleading, as significant variations to the surface pressures were present.
