Sesquiterpenoids and Diterpenoids from Chloranthus anhuiensis

A phytochemical investigation of the roots of Chloranthus anhuiensis afforded three new sesquiterpene lactones, chloraniolide A (1), (3R)-3-hydroxyatractylenolide III (2), and 8 beta-hydroxy-1-oxoeudesma-3,7(11)-dien-12,8 alpha-olide (3), and two new diterpenoids, (12R,13E)-15-(acetoxy)-12-hydroxylabda-8(20),13-dien-19-oic acid (4) and (12S,13E)-15-(acetoxy)-12-dihydroxylabda-8(20),13-dien-19-oic acid (5), as well as 17 known sesquiterpenoid and diterpenoid compounds. Their structures were established on the basis of 1D- and 2D-NMR, and other spectroscopic analyses.
