Abstract
The title compound, C 23 H 34 O 6 , a ring D lactone, has two acetoxy groups in positions 3α and 4β. All ring junctions are trans which results in a planar molecule. The two acetoxy groups have different behaviour, one of them being disordered and exhibiting double-bond delocalization. The ordered acetoxy group is involved in two weak intramolecular C-H… O bonds.
