Abstract
The true calycin structure is indicated; it is not the isomeric o-hydroxypulvinic dilactone structure previously supposed. An improved synthesis of calycin is described. The spectroscopic investigation of calycin methyl ether and its geometrical isomer furnished additional support for the proposed structure of calycin.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
