Abstract
The spatial structure of the carotane ester akiferin has been established by the x-ray structural method (diffractometer, CuKα radiation, 1109 reflections, direct method, R=0.084). Using the method of molecular mechanics, possible conformational states of the free akiferin molecule have been calculated by rotating the para-methoxybenzoate [sic] moiety of the molecule relative to the C6-O axis.
