RESUMO
From aerial parts of Austroeupatorium inulifolium was isolated the ent-nor-furano triol labdane austroeupatol 1. The compound 1 was treated with IBX showing an unexpected selectivity at the potentially oxidizable sites of the substrate yielding the 2-oxoaustroeupatol (2) and 2,19-dioxoaustroeupatol (3). The treatment of 2 with sodium periodate yields a heterocyclic derivative (ε-caprolactone derivate 4) formed by oxidative cleavage and unexpected intramolecular attack of the hydroxymethylene (C-19) oxygen to the ketonic carbon (C-2). A plausible mechanistic pathway for the obtention of compound 4 is proposed.
RESUMO
From aerial parts of Stevia lucida Lagasca was isolated the natural mixture of isomeric eudesmanolides helenin. The identification and quantification of the constituents of helenin (alantolactone 1 and isoalantolactone 2, ratio 3:7) was performed through the quantitative analysis of its 1D and 2D NMR spectra.

Basic hydrolysis of a dichloromethane extract of Stevia lucida yielded (4R,5S,7R,9R,10R,11R)-7,9-dihydroxylongipin-2-en-1-one (1), which was oxidized and subjected to acidic conditions to generate the new seco-moreliane derivative 3. The structure of 3 was established based on NMR data interpretation and confirmed computationally. A plausible mechanism for the carbocationic rearrangement of the trione 2 to the seco-moreliane 3 was supported by DFT computations.

A new lathyrane-type diterpene 8alpha,15beta-diacetoxy-7beta-benzoyloxy-3beta-(2-methylpropanoyloxy)-4alphaH,9alphaH, 11alphaH-lathyra-5E,12E-dien-14-one (latazienone) has been isolated from the latex of Euphorbia latazi Kunth. The structure of the new diterpene was determined by a combination of ID- and 2D-NMR techniques.
