To address the issue, a ML-<em>J</em>-DP4//DP4+ workflow was studied, which allowed simultaneous determination of connectivity and relative configuration with high accuracy, while saving computational resources. Furthermore, during the calculation of NMR data at the DP4+ level, abnormally large errors were observed for the beta carbon of a polyhydroxylated conjugated enone. A literature analysis revealed that this behavior could be generalized, and after careful examination, it was determined to be the result of small geometric distortions caused by an overestimated network of intramolecular hydrogen bonds.
