Abstract: X-Ray analysis of 23(S)-acetoxy-9β-holost-7-en-3β-ol, C32H50O5, a native aglycone from the Stichopodidae holothurians glycosides, was carried out (diffractometer, λ, Mo, t–120°C, 2751 reflections, direct method, anisotropic leastsquares refinement, R 0.053). Monoclynic crystals: space group P21 Z=2, a 14.036 A, b 6.748 A, c 16.630 A, β 112.59°. The conformation of the molecule is established and the isomerisation of these genins having a labile fragment of 9β-holost-7-ene is interpreted in stereochemical terms.
