J Asian Nat Prod Res. 2012;14(8):764-8. doi: 10.1080/10286020.2012.691095. Epub 2012 Jun 14.

Abstract

A phytochemical investigation of the flowers of Rhododendron molle has yielded two new grayanane diterpenoids, rhodomolleins F and G (1, 2). Compounds 1 and 2 possessed an oxo-bridge between C-5 and C-9, and their structures were elucidated on the basis of interpretation of spectroscopic data, including 1D and 2D NMR techniques.
