โฆ Synopsis
THE cucurbitacins are M interesting group of bitter the Cucurbitaceae.' A constitution (I) was recently cucurbitacin E. The related cucurbitacin B R = side chain). Cucurbitacins B, D, E and may be represented as in (II, I have all been correlated U.K. 13, Pennsylvania principles found in proposed* for previously. 3 The position of the ring C ketone group at Cl1 or Ci2 has not hitherto been established. We wish to present proof that the ketone is at Cii, to provide independent evidence for the constitution of cucurbitacin B and to propose constitutions for the biogenetically related1 cucurbitaeins A sndC.

THE stereochemistry of ring A of some of the cucurbitacins has been discussed in a previous communication. 4 We wish to report now the experiments which led us to present most of the stereochemistry of the four naturally occurring cucurbitacins: elatericin A (Ia), cucurbitacin B (Ib), elatericin B (
