The structure of the dimeric eudesmanolide hydroxy‐ bis ‐dihydrofarinosin ( 1 ) from Encelia farinosa followed after contrasting their 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra with those of encelin ( 6 ), hydroxy‐ bis ‐dihydroencelin ( 3 ), and farinosin ( 4 ). Structure 1 was verified by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis, which further provided the stereochemistry of the hydroxy group at C‐4. Comparison of the experimental vibrational circular dichroism spectrum of its derived diacetate 2 with that calculated by density functional theory provided the absolute configuration, which resulted the same as that of its biogenetic precursor 4 . Evaluation of several chemical shift differences between the two eudesmanolide fragments of 1 and 3 allows also ascertaining the yet not reported absolute configuration of the C‐4 stereogenic center of 3 .
