## Abstract A useful method for the assignment of hydroxyl groups in steroids is described in which hydroxy‐steroids are reacted with trifluoroacetic anhydride. The δ‐values of the CF~3~ signals from the resulting trifluoroacetates characterize the positions of the trifluoroacetylated hydroxyl grou

Abstract
The full structure of astellatol, a new complex sesterterpene isolated from Aspergillus variecolor, was determined solely by the use of one‐ and two‐dimensional NMR techniques. The carbon skeleton was deduced from a two‐dimensional INADEQUATE spectrum, and the proton shifts were deduced from a two‐dimensional CH correlation (HMQC) experiment. Analysis of a two‐dimensional proton DQFCOSY spectrum and a series of homonuclear NOE difference spectra allowed the determination of the full stereochemistry.

## Abstract Hydroxyiridals − monocyclic triterpenoids − are found abundantly in sword lilies. They feature a homofarnesyl side chain that is hydroxylated at one of the allylic methylene groups, which gives rise to a chiral carbon atom. The absolute configuration of six hydroxyiridals from different
