Abstract: | It has been shown by x-ray structural analysis that cyclogalegigenin has the 20S,24R stereochemistry and, consequently, is 20S,24R-epoxycycloartane-3 ,6 ,16 ,25-tetraol. Cyclosieversigenin is 20R,24S-epoxycycloartane-3 ,6 ,16 ,-25-tetraol.Institute of Applied Physics, Acadmy of Sciences of the Moldavian SSR, Kishinev.
