It consisted of a hour-long talk mostly about statistics, and how the particle physics community can only claim a discovery when their data has\u00a0achieved a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.physics.org\/article-questions.asp?id=103\" target=\"_blank\">5\u03c3 confidence level<\/a>. This represents a 1 in 3.5 million probability of the result occurring by chance. I started thinking: how much chemistry is asserted at that level of confidence? Today, I read Steve Bachrach&#8217;s post on the <a href=\"http:\/\/comporgchem.com\/blog\/?p=3148\" target=\"_blank\">structure of Citrinalin B<\/a>\u00a0and how &#8220;u<em>se of Goodman\u2019s DP4 method indicates a 100% probability that the structure of citrinalin B is (the structure below)&#8221;.<\/em>\u00a0Wow, that is even higher than the physicists. Of course, 100% has been obtained by rounding 99.7 (<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/68\u201395\u201399.7_rule\" target=\"_blank\">3\u03c3 is 99.73%<\/a>) or whatever (this is one number that should never be so rounded!). <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12585\" src=\"http:\/\/comporgchem.com\/blog\/wp-content\/citrinalinB5.png\" alt=\"pc\" \/> But there was one aspect of this that I did want to have a confidence level for; the <strong>absolute configuration<\/strong> of citrinalin B. Reading the article Steve quotes<span id=\"cite_ITEM-12705-0\" name=\"citation\"><a href=\"#ITEM-12705-0\">[1]<\/a><\/span>,\u00a0one sees this aspect is attributed to ref 5<span id=\"cite_ITEM-12705-1\" name=\"citation\"><a href=\"#ITEM-12705-1\">[2]<\/a><\/span>, dating from 2005. There the configuration was assigned on the basis of &#8220;<i>comparison of the electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra for 1 and 2 with those of known spirooxiindole alkaloids<\/i>&#8220;. However, this method can fail<span id=\"cite_ITEM-12705-2\" name=\"citation\"><a href=\"#ITEM-12705-2\">[3]<\/a><\/span>. Also, one finds &#8220;<i>comparison of the vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of 1 with those of model compounds<\/i>&#8220;<span id=\"cite_ITEM-12705-1\" name=\"citation\"><a href=\"#ITEM-12705-1\">[2]<\/a><\/span>. Nowadays, one would say that there is no need for model compounds, why not measure and compute the VCD of the actual compound? Even a determination using the Flack crystallographic method can occasionally be wrong!<span id=\"cite_ITEM-12705-3\" name=\"citation\"><a href=\"#ITEM-12705-3\">[4]<\/a><\/span>. Which leads to asking what typical confidence levels might be for these three techniques, and indeed whether improving instrumentation means that the confidence level gets higher with time. OK, I am going to guess these.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>I think the confidence level for assigning absolute configurations on the basis of ECD analogy with other compounds is the lowest of all the methods. Around 1\u03c3 or 68.3% (and this mostly from additional information such as the chemical transforms performed from starting materials of known absolute configuration).<\/li>\n<li>VCD is higher. If performed on the actual compound, I think it can be as high as 2-3\u03c3 or 95.5-99.7%. It is difficult to know how much of this certainty is lost by using only model compounds.<\/li>\n<li>Flack analysis (of anomalous X-ray)<span id=\"cite_ITEM-12705-4\" name=\"citation\"><a href=\"#ITEM-12705-4\">[5]<\/a><\/span> is probably also at\u00a02-3\u03c3; I suggest however that a fair bit of uncertainly not included in the 2-3\u03c3 probably arises from analysing a tiny crystal (1 \u00b5g) arising from a solution perhaps 10,000 times larger in weight of sample.<\/li>\n<li>And of course combining the uncertainties from multiple experiments reduces it overall.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I am not casting any doubts on an assigned absolute configuration on which that of citrinalin B is based, as done in 2005. I have no grounds to think it is wrongly assigned. I am merely suggesting that in 2014, one\u00a0should be able to\u00a0achieve an even greater confidence level. And do what the physicists do, try to estimate the confidence level attained. I wonder how much chemistry would match the physicists\u00a05\u03c3-confidence level (99.99994%<span style=\"color: #000000;\">)<\/span>?<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n    <ol class=\"kcite-bibliography csl-bib-body\"><li id=\"ITEM-12705-0\">E.V.
