T. Yoshida et al., SCAPAUNDULIN-A AND SCAPAUNDULIN-B, 2 NOVEL DIMERIC LABDANE DITERPENOIDS, AND RELATED-COMPOUNDS FROM THE JAPANESE LIVERWORT SCAPANIA-UNDULATA (L) DUM, Tetrahedron letters, 38(11), 1997, pp. 1975-1978
Two novel dimeric labdane diterpenoids, scapaundulins A (4) and B (5),
have been isolated from the ether extract of the Japanese liverwort S
capania undulata (L.) Dum., together with three new labdane diterpenoi
ds (1-3) and their structures characterized by spectroscopic technique
s, especially 2D-NMR and mass spectrometry. The structures of scapaund
ulins possess a C-2 axis of symmetry. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
