Syntkesis qf (+)-(4S)-and (-)-(4R)-llU-hydroxyretinak (4-OH-RALs) la and Ib was accomplishedfrorn (4S)-and (4R)-4-hydroxy-/I-ions. respectively. to determine the absolute co&tuation of a visual

pigment chromophore in Watasenia scintillans. The CD spectra qf the native chronwphore ana' its anti-okme agreed with those of synthetic (4R)-compounds. The CD exciton chirality mthod as qplied IO rhe pdimethykaminoci qf (4R)4-OH-R& also estabiishes the absoiute confisttratio~ sf the nativt chrowtqvhore as 1 b.
