The absolute configuration of the dicipiene diterpenes has been determined by degradation to 4R-4-(2-methoxy-4-methylphenyl)-pentanoic acid.Photolysis of 1,18-diacetoxy-13-oxodecipi-14-ene proceeds through a novel photochemical reaction, formally a cycloreversion, to generate a key intermediate for the degradation.
