Abstract
Five new diterpenes, cespihypotins W–Z (1–4, resp.) and cespihypotone (5) have been isolated from the AcOEt‐soluble fraction of the Formosan soft coral Cespitularia hypotentaculata. Two of them having the norverticillane skeleton, i.e., 1 and 2, and the other three, 3–5, possessing a verticillane skeleton. The structures were established as (+)‐(1__β__H,7__E__)‐6__β__,11__β__‐dihydroxynorverticilla‐4(18),7‐diene‐10,12‐dione (1), (+)‐(1__β__H,7__E__)‐6__β__‐acetoxy‐11__β__‐hydroxynorverticilla‐4(18),7‐diene‐10,12‐dione (2), (−)‐(1__β__H,7__E__)‐6__β__‐acetoxyverticilla‐4(18),7,11‐triene‐10,12‐γ‐lactone (3), (+)‐(1__β__H,7__E__)‐6__β__‐acetoxy‐10‐hydroxyverticilla‐4(18),7,11‐triene‐10,12‐γ‐lactone (4), and (+)‐(1__β__H,3__Z__)‐10__β__‐hydroxy‐6‐oxoverticilla‐3,11‐diene‐10,12‐γ‐lactone (5), respectively, on the basis of 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR spectroscopic analyses.
