β¦ Synopsis
Three new diterpenoids related to the aglycone components of the recently described pseudopterosins and seco-pseudopterosins have been isolated from an undescribed Pseudopterogorgia species from the Caribbean Sea. The new compounds, described on the basis of their NMR properties and chemical interconversions, appear to be related illustrating some interesting rearrangements of a tertiary hydroperoxide in this series.

Erythrodiene (l) , a new sesquiterpene hydrocarbon of a rare structural class, has been isolated from the encrusting Caribbean gorgonian coral E~thropodiurn caribaeorum. The structure of the new compound was assigned on the basis of spectral studies and through an X-ray analysis of a reduced oxonol
