Abstract:
Three novel diterpenoids have been isolated from the roots of Croton macrostachys. The structure and stereochemistry of the compounds have been unambiguously settled as neoclerodan-5,10-en-19,6beta;20,12-diolide, 3alpha, 19-dihydroxytrachylobane, and 3alpha,18,19-trihydroxytrachylobane from detailed spectroscopic evidence.
