基于 CASE 技术进行海洋天然产物 acremolin 的快速结构确证
案 例 背 景
Julianti et al. [2]从海洋真菌Acremonium strictum培养液中分析得到一个新的碱基类化合物,acremolin(1)。基于原始光谱数据,作者鉴定化合物为甲基鸟嘌呤碱基包含1个异戊二烯基团,同时结构存在特殊的的1H-氮丙啶基团。

Januar and Molinski [3]认为化合物1结构中存在不稳定基团,不太可能为天然产物,而基于谱图信息猜想应该为以下结构2或3。

为了准确验证化合物结构,Januar and Molinski基于N2,3-ethenoguanine骨架进行了化合物2和3的合成。(化合物2为5a,化合物3为5b)



解决方案(基于CASE)



dA = average deviation of the calculated 13C spectra using the fragment method
dI = average deviation of the calculated 13C spectra using the incremental method
dN = average deviation of the calculated 13C spectra using the neural net method
max_dA = maximum 13C chemical shift deviation using the fragment method
