title: Absolute configurations of all four stereoisomers of cryptocaryalactone and deacetyl cryptocaryalactone.
abstract: Using information available in the literature and correlating this with physical data obtained for cryptocaryalactone stereoisomers isolated from C. myrtifolia and C. wyliei, it has been possible to assign the absolute configurations of the four stereoisomers of the title compound and its deacetyl analogue.
