Abstract
Seven new compounds were isolated from the leaves of Taiwania crypomerioides. Taiwaniaquinone D and taiwaniaquinone E are diterpenes having a six-five-six fused ring skeleton. Taiwaniadduct A is a [4 + 2] cycloaddition product of β-myrcene and taiwaniaquinone A. Taiwaniadduct B and taiwaniadduct C are isomers derived from [4 + 2] cycloadditions of trans-ozic acid and taiwaniaquinone A. Taiwaniadduct D is formally an ene reaction product of taiwaniadduct B. Taiwaniadduct E is a [5 + 2] cycloaddition product of taiwaniaquinone A and trans-ozic acid. The structure determination of these new compounds was based on spectral analyses and chemical transformation. A crystalline compound, prepared by bismethylation of taiwaniadduct D, was analysed by X-ray diffraction to establish the stereochemistry.
