Abstract
The structural correlation of coriamyrtin (I) and tutin (II) was established by deriving both compounds to coriamyrtin-isonorketone-methoxide (XXVIII), as well as to its dihydro derivative (XXX). The absolute configurations of these compounds were determined by the ORD spectra and the benzoate rule. The mutual influences of the 2-hydroxyl group and the terminal epoxide in the NMR spectra were analyzed for tutin and derivatives.
