In the presence of chiral environment compounds, C, optical rotation is induced in symmetric substrates, S, and may be detected as circular dichroism in the electronic spectra of the solutions. Thus the n − π* transitions of symmetric and racemic carbonyl compounds, and of symmetric nitro and azo compounds, become optically active when these S are dissolved in chiral hydrocarbons, ketones, or carbinols, or in solutions of these C in achiral solvents. The rotational strengths of the induced circular dichroism bands of S are solvent, temperature, and concentration dependent. Only limited correlation of the sign and magnitude of the induced bands with the stereochemistry of C and S is evident on the data so far accumulated. Halogenated achiral solvents enhance the intensity, and, in some cases reverse the sign of the induced bands.A new mechanism of asymmetric induction is proposed in which specific bonding of C with S is not prerequisite.

Chemical investigation of MeOH extract of a South China Sea sponge Cacospongia sp. yielded 15 terpenoids belonging to three different skeleton-types, including the unusual C17 γ-lactone norditerpenoids (1–3), the rare C21 pyridine meroterpenoid (7), and the notable C25 manoalide-type sesterterpenoids (4–6, 8–10). Compounds 1–5 were initially obtained as enantiomers, and were further separated to be optically pure compounds (1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a-r, 3b-r, 4a, 4b, 5a and 5b) by chiral HPLC, with a LiAlH4 reduction aid for 3. Compounds 3a/3b (a pair of inseparable enantiomers), 4a, 5a, 6, and 7 were identified as new compounds, while 1a/1b and 2a/2b were obtained from a natural source and were determined for their absolute configurations for the first time. This is also the first time to encounter enantiomers of the well-known manoalide-type sesterterpenoids from nature. The structures with absolute configurations of the new compounds were unambiguously determined by comprehensive methods including HR-ESI-MS and NMR data analysis, optical rotation comparison, experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD), and Mo2(OAc)4 induced circular dichroism (ICD) methods. The cytotoxicity of the isolates against selected human tumor cell lines was evaluated, however, the tested compounds showed no activity against selected cell lines.
