Abstract:
Seven guaiane-type sesquiterpenoids, a new compound 6-formyl-5-isopropyl-3-hydroxymethyl-7- methyl-1
H-indene (
1), a new natural product 5-isopropyl-3, 7-dimethyl-1
H-indene-1-one (
2), along with five known compounds: guaiazulene (
3), 4-formyl-7-isopropyl-10-methylazulene (
4), sesquiterpene ketolactone (
5), alismoxide (
6) and guaia-1 (
5), 6-diene (
7), were isolated from gorgonian
Muriceides collaris collected in South China Sea. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis MS, IR,
1H NMR,
13C NMR (DEPT), HMQC, HMBC, NOESY and by comparison of the spectral data with those of the literatures.
