Abstract
Eight phloroglucinols from Garcinia dauphinensis were recently reported to have good to moderate antiplasmodial and anticancer activities, consistent with other phloroglucinol derivatives isolated from natural sources. Chiroptical properties were previously calculated and compared to experimental data for compound 2 as a means to deduce its absolute configuration. Tentative assignments for the remaining compounds were also reported based on these data. In order to arrive at stereochemical assignments for phloroglucinols 1 and 3–8, ECD spectra and specific rotations were computed for all stereoisomers of each compound. Molecular orbital analyses were also carried out for the most energetically favorable conformers of each compound. Absolute configurations are reported for all eight phloroglucinols for the first time.
