Abstract
Two diastereoisomers of the Cg lactone, (3S, 5S, 6S) - 3, 5 - dihydroxy - 6 - methyl - delta - octanolide and (3S, 5S, 6R) - 3, 5 - dihydroxy - 6 - me thyl - delta - octanolide, have been enantioselectively synthesized and com pared with the natural sample, thereby determining the absolute configurati on of the methyl group in the acyl moiety of quillajasaponins to be S.
