Abstract

By base-catalyzed reaction of a nor-clerodane diterpene, teucvidin (1), several cis- (5, 6) and trans-clerodane derivatives (3, 7, 8) were obtained. Their structures including stereochemistry were established by spectroscopic means and X-ray analysis of 5, and by correlation to the known products. The formation of these compounds implied that a different kind of basic reagents had influence on the stereochemistry of reactive products. Among the compounds obtained, 7 showed the most potent antifeedant activity to larvae of Leucania separata.
