Abstract

Four new polyoxygenated cembranoids, namely sarcoboettgerol A (1), 12-epi-humilisin D (2), sarcoboettgerol B (3), and sarcoboettgerol C (4), together with one known related analogue, humilisin D (5), were isolated and characterized from the soft coral Sarcophyton boettgeri collected off Ximao island, Hainan Province, China. The structures and absolute configurations of the new compounds were determined by extensive spectroscopic data analyses, Cu kα single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and TDDFT-ECD calculations. A plausible biogenetic relationship of 3 and 4 was proposed.
