1-Hydroxyditerpenes from Two New Zealand Liverworts, <i>Paraschistochila pinnatifolia</i> and <i>Trichocolea mollissima</i>

Abstract

The isolation of two new 1-hydroxyditerpenoids from two species of New Zealand liverwort is described. ent-1α-Hydroxykauran-12-one (1) was obtained from Paraschistochila pinnatifolia and ent-1α-hydroxysandaracopimara-8(14),15-diene (3) from Trichocolea mollissima. The structures were assigned from the NMR spectra.
