A. Rabemanantsoa et al., A NEW SECOTRINERVITANE DITERPENE ISOLATED FROM SOLDIERS OF THE MADAGASCAN TERMITE SPECIES, NASUTITERMES CANALICULATUS, Journal of natural products, 59(9), 1996, pp. 883-886
Reported herein is the X-ray crystallographic structure of a novel 10-
oxygenated secotrinervitane diterpene, 3 alpha,10 a-diacetoxy-7,16-sec
otrinervita-7,11,15(17)-triene (4), from soldiers of the endemic Madag
ascan termite Nasutitermes canaliculatus, which was compared with an e
nergy-minimized structure obtained by computer molecular modeling. We
also report H-1- and C-13-NMR and MS data for this new diterpene.
