Absolute Stereostructure Determination of Cladospolide A Using MTPA Ester Method

Abstract
The absolute configuration of cladospolide A, a phytotoxic macrolide produced by a fungus Cladosporium cladosporioides, was determined as (4R,5S,11R,2E)-4,5-dihydroxy-2-dodecen-11-olide by means of MTPA method.
