The structure of compactin (I) 7-1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 8a-hexahydro-2-methyl-8- (2-methylbutyryloxy) naphthyl-3-hydroxyheptan-5-olide, a metabolite isolated from cultures of Penicillium brevicompactum, has been determined by a combination of spectroscopic, chemical, and X-ray crystallographic methods.
BROWN et al. (1976) studied this question.
