A new rearranged dolabellane diterpene from the soft coral Clavularia inflata

Nat Prod Res. 2008 Jun 15;22(9):814-9. doi: 10.1080/14786410701640528.

Abstract

A new dolabellane type diterpene 1 has been isolated through its acetate 1a. The structure of 1a was elucidated by extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and confirmed by mass spectrometry. The structure of 1 was deduced by comparison of its NMR spectral data with those of 1a, while its relative stereochemistry was deduced by NOESY. The absolute stereochemistry of C-7 was determined by analyses of 1 separately esterified with R and S O-mandelic acids.
