The structures of two new minor diterpenes, 19-dideoxy coleonol-B and
1-acetoxy coleosol, isolated from the roots of Coleus forskohlii have
been shown to be 7-hydroxy-6-acetoxy, 13-epoxy labd-14-en-11-one and 1
-acetoxy-6,9-dihydroxy, 13-epoxy labd-14-en-11-one, respectively, main
ly through interpretation of 2D NMR data and X-ray analysis.
