24. The difference in the rates of acylation of the hydroxyl groups on C-5(5′) and C-8(8′) in 1 is likely due to the ability of the latter to form a hydrogen bond to the carbonyl on C-1(1′). Inspeetion of molecular models suggests these two functional groups are quite close.

26. It should be noted that 3 is assigned a C-8(8′) = R configuration, while 1 and 2 possess C-8(8′) configurations despite the fact that the hydroxyl groups are alpha in all three metabolites. The replacement of one of the hydrogens at C-8(8′) in 1 and 2 with a methoxyl functionality in 3 reverses the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priorities. The same phenomenon is seen with rostratin D (4).
27. The regioselective acylation of 4 is most likely due to the greater nucleophilicity of the alcohol as compared to the thiol.
