A simple and versatile scheme of stereochemical identification of the stereochemically rich natural products and organic compounds with multiple asymmetric centers is proposed based on a detailed parsing of calculated 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts in combination with their DP4+ analysis, as exemplified for three natural products: sungucine, physalin D, and anabsinthin. Performed benchmark calculations of the considered diastereomers provided very good agreement with their known experimental stereochemical structures.
