Abstract
X-Ray structural analysis of 3-oxo-4αH,8α-benzoyloxy-10β,11α-diacetoxyslovanolide (XII) confirmed the correctness of the previously proposed structure of slovanolides. A comparison of the X-ray and 1H NMR data of lactone XII showed that the confirmation of this substance in crystals and in chloroform or benzene solutions is very similar. The structure of the lactone from Laserpitium marginatum has been corrected to formula XIa.
