Abstract
The o.r.d. curves of ca. 40 carotenoids have been measured, chiefly in dioxan, over the range 400–200 nm. The chromophore in all cases is a conjugated polyene system which is perturbed by one or two chiral end-groups. The curves are analysed in terms of the simple additivity of the effects of end-groups, and the absolute configurations of several compounds have been provisionally assigned.
