In an attempt to explore the biogenetic relationship of furanoeremophilane derivatives and eremophilan-8alpha,12-olides, produced in Ligularia and their structure-activity relationship, we studied the photosensitized oxidation of furanoeremophilane-type sesquiterpenes. Under the condition of several solvents solution Irradiation with a 200 W incandescent lamp of furanoeremophilan-14beta,6alpha-olide isolated from Ligularia vellerea, in various solutions with methylene blue, rose bengal, toluidine blue and safranine T gave several products. The products were isolated by chromatographic procedure and their structures were elucidated as eremophilan-14beta,6alpha,8alpha,12-diolide derivatives by NMR, IR and MS methods. A reaction mechanism has been proposed.
