Org Lett. 2008 Feb 7;10(3):401-4. doi: 10.1021/ol7026834. Epub 2008 Jan 8.

Abstract

Novofumigatonin (1), a new metabolite, has been isolated from Aspergillus novofumigatus. The structure and relative stereochemistry were determined from HR ESI MS, one- and two-dimensional NMR, and single-crystal X-ray analysis. The absolute configuration was assigned using vibrational circular dichroism in combination with density functional calculations.
