<b><i>Ent</i>-kaurene and <i>ent</i>-beyerene diterpenoids and other constituents of <i>Thecacoris batesii</i></b>

Abstract

Two novel diterpenoids, thecacorins A (1) and B (2), were isolated from Thecacoris batesii and their structures were established as ent-3&beta;,20-epoxy-16-kaurene-3&alpha;&alpha;,12&beta;-diol and ent-15-beyerene-2&beta;,3&beta;-diol, respectively, on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis, especially, 1D NMR spectra, in conjunction with 2D experiments, COSY, NOESY, HMQC and HMBC
