Abstract

Derivatives of the keto triester II, particularly the ether VI, were investigated by 1H-NMR and CD spectroscopy. Formation of the ether VI and comparison of its parameters with those of other described compounds prove that the originally suggested steric structure of acetylisomontanolide (VII) is correct.
