Abstract
Isolation and examination of diterpene hydrocarbons produced by the fungus Phoma betae allowed us to determine the structures of eight compounds. Anal ysis by capillary GC with a cyclodextrin derived chiral stationary phase al lowed us to determine the absolute configuration of the diterpenes. The occ urrence of aphidicolenes, stemar-13-ene, pimara- and isopimaradienes demons trates the diversity of diterpenes found in this fungus. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
