Abstract
Two diterpenes, epipolone (1) and epipolol (3), produced by terpenoid pathw ays leading to a tricarbocyclic structure with an irregular "head to tail" isoprene configuration, have been isolated from the Caribbean marine sponge Epipolasis reiswigi collected in Puerto Rico. The structures of I and 3 we re elucidated largely by ID and 2D NMR methods land chemical conversion.
