Abstract

Two new cembranoids, ximaosarcophytols A (1) and B (2), together with three related known ones (3-5), were isolated from the soft coral Sarcophyton trocheliophorum collected off the Ximao Island, Hainan Province, China. Their structures including the absolute configurations were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis, TDDFT/ECD (time-dependent density functional theory/electronic circular dichroism) calculations and comparison with the reported data.

Keywords: Cembranoid; ECD calculation; Soft coral.
