Abstract

DU8+ computations of NMR spectra revealed a relatively common error in the structure assignment of carboxylic anhydride-containing natural products. Computationally driven revisions of ten of these structures are reported in this Note. The majority of the misassigned structures featured a hydroxy group that is proximal to the proposed anhydride moiety and capable of lactone formation.
