When the results of such calculations are used to determine the most likely structure of a natural product in advance, guiding the subsequent synthetic work, the term “computer-guided synthesis” could be coined. This review article describes the most relevant examples from recent literature, highlighting the scope and limitations of this merged computational/experimental approach as well.application/pdf1041-1075engopenAccessTotal SynthesisBiological ProductsComputational ChemistryNMR CalculationsGIAO NMR CalculationsarticleUniversidad Nacional de RosarioSociedade Brasileira de QuímicaDella-Felice, FrancoPilli, Ronaldo A.Sarotti, Ariel MarceloAttribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)
