Abstract

A new taxoid, wallifoliol [3], has been isolated, along with five known taxoids (taxol, cephalomannine, 10-deacetylbaccatin III, brevifoliol, 2-acetoxy brevifoliol=taxchinin A) from extracts of the needles of Himalayan Taxus wallichiana. The structure of wallifoliol has been assigned primarily from nmr studies. Wallifoliol [3] is assigned a structure in which rings A and B of the taxane system have undergone putative rearrangements producing a novel skeleton. Wallifoliol is the first diterpene to be found in nature with this particular 5/6/6/6/4 ring system.
