Abstract
An investigation into the chemical constituents of a crude MeOH extract fro m a specimen of Actephila excelsa (family Euphorbiaceae), led to the isolat ion of two new epimeric aromatic terpenoids, actephilol A 1 and epiactephil ol A 2. The gross structures and relative stereochemistry of 1 and 2 were d etermined through extensive 2D NMR analysis. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
