✦ Synopsis
THE skeletal structure 2,3 of jatamansone (identical with valeranone4) is unique among sesquiterpenes. By establishing the location 2b,5 of the carbonyl group, the constitutional problem can be considered to be settled completely in terms of structures I -IV, the only question remaining being the stereochemistry of this sesquiterpene. The degradation 2b of jatamansone to (-)-carvomenthone (V) fixes the absolute configuration of the carbon atom to which t?e isopropyl group is attached, thus leaving the four isomeric repres'antations I -IV open for further consideration.
