The extract of the aerial parts ofO. floribundus afforded in addition to known compounds 17 new diterpenes, including eightseco-ent-labdanes with a very rare carbon skeleton. The structures were elucidated by high field ...

A route for the degradation of the side chain of ent-labdane derivatives has been devised, giving the useful synthon 2β,12-dihydroxy-13,14,15,16,17- pentanor-ent-labdane-8-one (8). The use of this compound in the preparation ...

A selective route for the degradation of the unsaturated side chain of ent-labdanes has been devised, giving two useful synthons: 2β-acetoxy-14, 15,17-trinor-ent-labdane-8,13-dione (5) and 2β-acetoxy-14,15-dinor-ent- ...

The aerial parts of Fleischmannia microstemon afforded in addition to sesamin and two clerodanes, ent-manoyl oxide and two derivatives of the latter, one a 6β-acetoxy derivative and the other a seco-labdane. From F. pratensis ...

The aerial parts of Haplopappus deserticola afforded three ent-labdane and one labdane derivative as well as a nor-ent-labdane. Furthermore, in addition to three known umbelliferone derivatives, a dimeric coumarin was ...

The aerial parts of Baccharis pingraea, collected in Chile, afforded, in addition to two diterpene glycosides isolated previously, 14 new ones and two of the corresponding desacyl aglycones. The structures were elucidated ...
