Abstract

In order to determine the absolute configuration of urothion (4), the CD spectrum of the dephospho form B (3b) derived from 4 was compared with those of both enantiomers of the dephospho form B ((R)-3b and (S)-3b) which were prepared by asymmetric synthesis. R-Configuration was concluded for the secondary hydroxyl group on the side chain of 3b, as well as 4, which is the same configuration as that of molybdopterin (1). This supports the view that 4 might be a urinary metabolite of 1.
