The hydrodistillation products of the liverwort Bazzania japonica were separated by preparative gas chromatography (GC) and investigated by spectroscopic methods. Seven unknown compounds were isolated and identified by GC-MS and NMR. Four of them, the norsesquiterpene hydrocarbons 4-epi-11-nor-aristola-1(10),11-diene (1), 4-epi-11-nor-aristola-1,9,11-triene (2), 4-epi-11-nor-aristola-9,11-diene (3), and one oxygenated sesquiterpene, (-)-aristol-1(10)-en-12-ol (5) are new natural compounds, and one, (+)-himachala-2,4-diene (7), has for the first time been isolated from liverworts. The absolute configurations of 5 and 7 were derived by chemical correlation reactions and/or enantioselective GC using cyclodextrin phases. 1, 2 and 3 have identical absolute configuration.
