Abstract:
Excolides A-B (1-4) represent the first examples of a new class of secolabdanoids with an unprecedented framework, which were isolated from the stems of Excoecaria agallocha. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis, chemical modifications, CD, and single-crystal X-ray analysis (1 and 4) as excolide A (1), 11-epi-excolide A (2), 11,13-di-epi-excolide A (3), and excolide B (4). In addition, the structure of rhizophorin A (7), a novel bicyclic secolabdanoid, was revised as excolide A (1).
