Abstract
Four new natural chemical entities, including 2-hydroxy-α-truxillic acid (2), (3R,4S)-2,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4-(1-angeloyloxy)-6-acetyl-7-methoxychromane (3), N-tricosanoyltyramine (4), and grandifolamide (5), were isolated along with 11 known compounds (1, 6-15) from the aerial parts of Ageratina grandifolia. The chemical structures were elucidated using chemical derivatization and HR-MS, NMR, and DFT-calculated chemical shifts, combined with DP4+ statistical analysis. It was found that 2 decomposed into its biogenetic precursor, o-coumaric acid, upon standing at room temperature for a few weeks. 3,5-Diprenyl-4-hydroxyacetophenone (8), O-methylencecalinol (10), encecalin (11), and encecalinol (12) bound to calmodulin (CaM) with higher affinity than chlorpromazine, a well-known CaM inhibitor. Molecular dynamics studies revealed that the complexes of these compounds with CaM remained stable during the simulation. Altogether these results revealed the therapeutic and research tool potential of compounds 8, 10, 11, and 12.

Asymmetric Synthesis of Four Stereoisomers of 2,2-Dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4-(1'-angeloyloxy)-6-acetylchromane from Ageratina grandifolia and Plausible Absolute Stereochemistry of the Natural Product.

Abstract
2,2-Dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4-(1'-angeloyloxy)-6-acetylchromane is a natural product isolated from Ageratina grandifolia that exhibits inhibitory activity against yeast α-glucosidase. Initially, its structure was proposed to be 4-hydroxy-3-((S)-1'-angeloyloxy-(R)-2',3'-epoxy-3'-methyl)butylacetophenone with an epoxide, but the structure was later revised to 2,2-dimethyl-3R-hydroxy-4S-(1-angeloyloxy)-6-acetylchromane. In this study, we present a total synthesis of 2,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4-(1'-angeloyloxy)-6-acetylchromane from A. gradifolia and its stereoisomers. The key features of their synthesis include Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of a readily available benzopyran substrate and subsequent Mitsunobu or Steglich reaction to provide both cis- and trans-isomers with chiral control. The absolute stereochemistry of the natural product was determined to be 2,2-dimethyl-3S-hydroxy-4R-(1'-angeloyloxy)-6-acetylchromane based on optical rotations of the synthesized compounds. The absolute configuration of the synthesized stereoisomers was confirmed by Mosher ester analysis. In addition, we provided ECD spectra for the four stereoisomers, which will allow verification of the absolute configuration of the natural product. Synthesis of all four stereoisomers of 2,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4-(1'-angeloyloxy)-6-acetylchromane would facilitate the exploration of their potential biomedical applications.

Abstract
Herein, we report the first total synthesis of α-glycosidase inhibitor (3R, 4S)-6-acetyl-3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylchroman-4-yl (Z)-2-methylbut-2-enoate as well as its enantiomer. Our synthesis confirms the chromane structure separately proposed by Navarro-Vazquez and Mata, on the basis of DFT computations. Furthermore, our synthesis allowed us to determine the absolute configuration of the natural compound as (3S, 4R) and not (3R, 4S).

Abstract
An expeditious and novel nickel-catalyzed selective arylhydroxylation of unactivated alkenes with arylboronic acids was developed. This protocol is compatible with β,γ- and γ,δ-alkene amides, including traditionally challenging internal alkenes, to provide important β-arylethylalcohol scaffolds. The free hydroxyl group in the final product could be smoothly further transformed into other functional groups. Control experiments indicated that the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl group in the product is derived from the oxygen in the air.

Abstract
A new probability score-named χ-probability-is introduced for evaluating the fit of mixed NMR datasets to calculate molecular model ensembles, in order to answer challenging structural questions such as the determination of stereochemical configurations. Similar to the DP4 parameter, the χ-probability is based on Bayes theorem and expresses the probability that an experimental NMR dataset fits to a given individual within a finite set of candidate structures or configurations. Here, the χ-probability is applied to single out the correct configuration in four example cases, with increasing complexity and conformational mobility. The NMR data (which include RDCs, NOE distances and 3J couplings) are calculated from MDOC (Molecular Dynamics with Orientational Constraints) trajectories and are investigated against experimentally measured data. It is demonstrated that this approach singles out the correct stereochemical configuration with probabilities more than 98%, even for highly mobile molecules. In more demanding cases, a decisive χ-probability test requires that the datasets include high-quality NOE distances in addition to RDC values.
