40. 13C NMR spectra with two carbonyl signals at δ = 171.61 ppm and δ = 171.57 ppm. Although the correct P,R,R configuration for natural vioxanthin (1) from P. citreoviride has been proposed by Zeeck et al. (reference [7]), their approach to confirm this is not valid: The CD spectra of 1 in the range of 300-450 nm is not predominantly determined by the chirality of the stereogenic centers, but rather by the axial chirality.
