Structure of Elemanschkuhriolide. Melampolides as Possible Biogenetic Precursors of C14α,H5β Elemanolides

, p. 2994 - 2996 (1984)
The structure and stereochemistry of the new C14α,H5β elemanolide, elemanschkuhriolide (8) from Schkuhria schkuhrioides is reported.Schkuhriolide (2), isolated from the same plant source, was transformed into 8 via a Cope rearrangement and this is the first sigmatropic reaction of a melampolide with a lactone ring closed at C(8) and cis annelated.The biogenesis of C14α,H5β elemanolides from melampolides is discussed.
