Abstract
The relative stereochemistry of a furanosesquiterpene, reported previously from myrrh, but isolated here from Commiphora sphaerocarpa is determined fo r the first time as (1(10)E,2R*,4R*)-2-methoxy-8,12-epoxygermacra-1(10),7,1 1-trien-6-one. Likewise the stereochemistry of furanodienone was establishe d by NMR and X-ray crystallography as (1(10)E,4E)-8,12-epoxygermacra-1(10), 4,7,11-tetrean-6-one. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
