Abstract:
Two diterpenes, capitatin 4 and teucapitatin 5 have been isolated from Teucrium capitatum. The X-ray structure of 4, including absolute stereochemistry, is given. Diterpene 4 has been chemically related to picropolin 1 and picropolinone 2, thereby establishing the absolute stereochemistry of these two neoclerodane-type diterpenes.
