Abstract

Carbon‐13 NMR signals of the biologically active norditerpenoid dilactones from Podocarpus plants were fully assigned by using selective ^1^H decoupling, coupling constants (^2^J~CH~), spin‐lattice relaxation times (T~1~) and correlation of the spectra of more than thirty dilactone congeners. The spectra of five nagilactones, B, C, D, E and F, which constitute representative members of three major structural types of the dilactones: (A) 8:14, 9:11‐dienolide (α‐pyrone) type, (B) 7α:8α‐epoxy‐9:11‐enolide type, and (C) 7:8,9:11‐dienolide type, were extensively analysed. Some characteristic steric interactions for the substituents on the ring system can be demonstrated from the spectral properties.
