14 GermacraneThe structure of 9-methylgermacrane B has been determined tobe a novel homosesquiterpene, which has been obtained fromthe sex pheromone glands of Lutzomyia longipalpis.203 Theminimum energy conformations of two sex pheromones, peri-planone A and periplanone B, of the American cockroach,Periplaneta americana, and of eleven structural analogueshave been calculated using molecular mechanics methods.204
The hydrocarbon germacrene C is the main constituent of theliverwort Preissia quadrata, collected in Germany.205 Anotherliverwort Porella swartziana contains the germacrane diketone162.200 The relative and absolute configuration of (+)-allohedycaryol 163 have been determined by synthesis of its
enantiomer.206 This compound had been isolated from Ferulacommunis. Another species of this genus Ferula leucographacontains the new sesquiterpene leucoferin 164.207 Two novelsesquiterpenes, parvigemone 165 and neolitrane 166, have been
found in an extract of the stems of Neolitsea parvigemma.208
The hydrocarbon germacrene A has been proposed to be anintermediate in the biosynthetic conversion of FPP to (")-aristolochene. Thus, when (7R)-6,7-dihydrofarnesyl diphos-phate was incubated with aristolochene synthase dihydroger-macrene was obtained.209 The biotransformation of allylicallyactivated (E,E)-cyclodeca-1,6-dienols by Cichorium intybus hasbeen studied.210
Many new germacrane lactones have been isolated fromnatural sources during 1996. The structures 167–190 representthe new germacranolides, whilst the structures 191–202 havebeen assigned to the heliangolides, 203–205 to the melam-polides, and 206 to the cis,cis-germacranolides (Table 1).There are several points to note in relation to these lactones.
Known germacranolides have been obtained from Cyrto-cymura cincta.214 The metabolites, mainly sesquiterpenes andsesquiterpene lactones, isolated from species of the subtribeGochnatiinae (tribe Mutisieae, family Compositae) have beenreviewed.222 The antiplasmodial activity and the cytotoxiceffects of aqueous extracts and sesquiterpene lactones fromNeurolaena lobata have been evaluated.223 The antibacterialactivity of several sesquiterpene lactones has been reported.224

Petasites japonicus.289 Another four lactones 280–283 and twonew secoeremophilane derivatives, 284 and 285, were alsoisolated from this species.290,291 The roots of Roldana sessili-folia292 contain three new eremophilanolides 286–288. Anothertwo compounds of this type have been obtained from Ligulariaintermedia.293 The eremophilane derivative 289 has been foundin Senecio hualtaranensis, whilst a closely related species,Senecio fabrisii, does not contain eremophilane derivatives.294
The chiloscyphane derivative 290 has been isolated from theliverwort Jungermannia vulcanicola.295 A highly stereoselectivesynthesis of an A-ring functionalized bakkane has beenachieved.296 The synthesis of spirolactones related to thebakkenolides has been accomplished.297
19 Guaiane, xanthane, pseudoguaiane, rotundane andpatchoulaneGuaiswartzianin A 291 and guaiswartzianin B 292 are twoguaiane sesquiterpenes, which have been isolated from Porellaswartziana.200 The essential oil from the heartwood of Thuja
occidentalis298 contains the two guaiane derivatives 293 and294. A 1,5,11-trihydroxyguaiane has been isolated from Caryo-daphnosis tonkinensis,299 whilst the compounds 295–297 havebeen obtained from Viburnum awabuki.300 Other guaianederivatives valeracetate 298 and pancherione 299 have been
obtained from Valeriana officinalis301 and Neocallitropsispancheri,240 respectively. The bis-sesquiterpene assafulvenal300, which is formed from a guaiane and a patchoulanesesquiterpene, has been isolated from the root bark of Joan-nesia princeps, and its structure has been determined by X-rayanalysis.302 A guaiazulene pigment 301 has been found in thegorgonian Calicogorgia granulosa.303 Known guaiane deriva-tives have been obtained from Lepechinia urbaniana304 andRubus rosifolius.305 Another known sesquiterpene with cyto-toxic properties, guaianediol 302, has been isolated from theRed Sea soft coral Sinularia gardineri.306 Koike et al.307 havereported the synthesis of natural dictamnol, but later De Grootet al.308 have prepared cis-dictamnol stating that dictamnolhas a trans- and not a cis-fused hydroazulene system. Thus,the structure of dictamnol (Nat. Prod. Rep., 1995, 12, 313,structure 273) has been revised to 303. The synthesis of (")-clavukerin A and (")-11-hydroxyguaiene has been achieved,but the spectroscopic data of the latter did not match with
