Trevoagenins A, B, and C, extracted from Trevoa trinervis Miers, are shown, by chemical and spectral means, to be isomeric dammarane triterpenes posessing the general 3β,25,30-trihydroxy-(20,24)-epoxydammaran-16-one structure with stereoisomeric side-chains of the ocotillol type.Trevoagenin A (20R,24R)-(1),, whose stereochemistry has been esteblished by chemical methods and confirmed by X-ray analysis, was transformed into (20R,24ξ)-ocotillone (26) and the C-24 stereochemistry was assigned as R.As a consequence, the C-24 stereochemistry for ocotillol-related compounds of the (20R)-series, unestablished so far, has been determined.The stereochemistry of trevoagenin B, (20S,24R)-(13), was established by chemical correlation with trevoagenin A.Moreover, trevoagenin B was transformed into ocotillol (20S,24R)-(21) and its recently questioned C-24 stereochemistry has been reaffirmed.Trevoagenin C, (20S,24S)-(17), is the C-24 isomer of trevoagenin B as shown by degradation of both compounds to the lactone (16).
