Abstract

On the basis of spectroscopic, particularly 1 H NMR data, isosilerolide was assigned structure I , including the absolute configuration. The structure was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Isosilerolide represents a new stereoisomeric type of natural eudesmanolides, characterized as 5βH, 6αH, 7αH, 10αCH 3 -eudesman-6,12-olide. As shown by the chemical correlation of isosilerolide ( I ) with silerolide ( III ) and lasolide ( X ), the latter two natural lactones belong to this stereoisomeric group of eudesmanolides. Analysis of models and 1 H NMR data shows that structures of some eudesman-6,12-olides, published by other authors, should be corrected.
