The Absolute Stereochemistry of Salvinorins Chemistry Letters November 1, 1990 Masato Koreeda, L. Brown, Leander J. Valdés 32 citations Abstract The absolute stereostructures of the hallucinogenic diterpenes salvinorin A and B have been unambiguously determined by the use of the non-empirical exciton chirality circular dichroism method on their 1α,2α-diol dibenzoate derivative.
