✦ Synopsis
STRUCTURAL. investigations of the two new sesquiterpenes (I and II) have provided further examples of optically inactive natural products containing asymmetric centres. The previously described geijerene lp2 (III) also belpngs to this class which requires in the biogenetic scheme, a special step leading to the formation of a racemic product. We have isolated from gurjun balsam oil and from Dvsoxvlon frazeranum oil3 a new sesquiterpene, (6-elemene), C15Ha*, b.p.10 107', g5 1.4828, dz5 .8590, [o]$O.O' (single peak on Apiezon M at 1700), which yields a crystalline nitrosochloride, m.p. 200°, [o]$O.O'. The infra-red and ultraviolet spectra are consistent with isolated vinyl (907, 1001 cm-') and vinylidene (894 cm-') groups and a trisubstituted double bond (818 cm-'). Complete hydrogenation yields C15Hj0, nD 25 1.4609, dz5 infra-red spectrum of which leads to a presumption of (IV).

Introduction. -The genus Ligularia has been taxonomically placed in the Compositae (tribe Senecioneae), and comprises ca. 100 species in China [1]. Some 27 species in this genus have long been used as folk remedies for their antibiotic, antiphlogistic, and antitumor activities [2]. Ligularia plants
