description

The absolute configurations of a series of phytotoxic dioxolanone-type secondary metabolites isolated from culture filtrates of the grape black rot fungus Guignardia bidwellii were determined by vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy in the mid-IR frequency range. Comparison of the recorded data with DFT calculations showed good agreement between experiment and theory for VCD, whereas electronic circular dichroism (ECD) data for the compounds matched poorly with the predicted spectra obtained by time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) calculations at the same level of theory.
