Abstract
The aerial parts of Helichrysum fulvum afforded, in addition to beyerenic acid and ent-kaurenic acid, two new diterpenic acids with the hitherto unknown carbon skeleton of an isotrachylobane type. The structures of these acids, isolated as their methyl esters, were elucidated by extensive NMR studies, some chemical transformations and by X-ray structural analysis of the corresponding acetate. The related alcohol on reaction with pyridinochlorochromate afforded a homoconjugated diene probably formed by fragmentation of a cyclopropyl carbinol. The possible biogenesis of the new carbon skeleton is discussed briefly.
