✦ Synopsis


A new hydroquinone diterpenoid was isolated from Clerodendrum uncinatum SCHINZ (Verbenaceae) by flash chromatography on silica gel. The structure was established as 7,1l-dihydroxy-3,4,9,1 lb-tetramethyl-1,2,8,9,1 lbpentahydrophenanthro[3,2-b]furan-6(2H)-one by spectroscopic methods and X-ray analysis. The diterpene was strongly fungitoxic to spores of Cladosporium cucumerinum. ') Part 4 of the series Phytochemistry of African Medicinal Plants. Part 3: [l].
