Abstract

The DP4 probability is one of the most sophisticated and popular approaches for the stereochemical assignment of organic molecules using GIAO NMR chemical shift calculations when only one set of experimental data is available. In order to improve the performance of the method, we have developed a modified probability (DP4+), whose main differences from the original DP4 are the inclusion of unscaled data and the use of higher levels of theory for the NMR calculation procedure. With these modifications, a significant improvement in the overall performance was achieved, providing accurate and confident results in establishing the stereochemistry of 48 challenging isomeric compounds.
