Moldovan chemists hosted the Italian partners in Chisinau and organized in premiere for the last 20 years an international seminar devoted to the chemistry of natural products. The seminar’s motto: New Frontiers in the Chemistry of Natural Products has addressed numerous students and researchers acting in the fields of chemistry, biology, pharmacy, genetics, biophysics as well as specialists from the R&D sector of companies with chemico-pharmaceutical profile. Following multiple solicitations coming from seminar audience, made us provide in the current issue of the  “Chemistry Journal of Moldova. General, Industrial and Ecological Chemistry” a condensed abstract of the seminar presentations. We do really hope that our joint event will give further impetus to our collaboration and will also motivate other researchers from Moldova to develop partnerships with European colleagues.

Graphical Abstract: The topic of the seminar held in the Institute of Chemistry, Academy of Sciences of Moldova on 30th September in the frame of the joint Moldo-Italian seminar “New frontiers in natural product chemistry”, concerned the use of NMR techniques in the elucidation of natural products. Step by step, two marine compounds (Fulvyne C and Tritoniopsin A) belonging to different chemical classes have been analyzed, by using suitable NMR experiments. This powerful technique allowed the elucidation of compounds as fulvynes, long chain polyacetylenes with the same functional groups but differently located in the chain, as well as tritoniopsins, cyclic diterpenes with a new skeleton, providing further information on their relative and absolute stereochemistry.

Graphical Abstract: The current communication represents an extended abstract of the presentation delivered on the joint Moldo-Italian seminar “New frontiers in natural product chemistry”, held in the Institute of Chemistry, Academy of Sciences of Moldova on 31 September. An overview of the synthetic methods oriented to the synthesis of functionalized terpenic perhydrindanes is provided. Different synthetic strategies are considered, including those based on  biomimetic approach. The array of obtained new structures can serve as leads in structure-activity studies as well as useful building blocks towards other perhydrindanes.

Graphical Abstract: The paper studies the corrosive activity of the monatomic alcohol (ethanol, butanol) - gasoline mixtures on the materials from which the internal combustion engines are made. The corrosive influence of these blends was determined in dependence of their composition. It was established that the addition of butanol and triethylamine in the ethanol-gasoline mixture essentially reduces the corrosive activity of this mixture.
