Abstract

A new furanoeremophilane has been isolated and a derivative of it analyzed by x-ray crystallography. The two compounds are 10β-hydroxy-6β-isobutyrylfuranoeremophilane (II) and 6β,10β-dihydroxyfuranoeremophilane (III). Both have been shown to be hepatotoxins, LD50IP400 and 113 mg/kg, respectively. Physical data are included in the publication with particular emphasis on NMR spectra correlation with x-ray structure. Compound III crystallized in a space group P212121 with cell dimensions a = 21.322 (7) Å,b = 7.593 (2) Å,c= 8.387 (1) Å, with Z = 4. Counter data were refined by full-matrix least squares to a residual of 4.7%.
