Absolute configuration of helminthogermacrene

The absolute configuration of the sesquiterpene hydrocarbon helminthogermacrene is established. Helminthogermacrene is an (E,Z)-configurational isomer of germacrene A and thus undergoes similar transformations forming elemenes via Cope rearrangement and yielding bicyclic systems via acid catalyzed reactions. The reaction products are investigated using enantioselective GC and extensive NMR measurements (1H-; 1H1H-COSY; HSQC; HMBC and NOE-experiments). In addition, NMR data of related compounds isolated during the course of this investigation not yet reported in literature are given.
