Abstract

The major diterpene acids and neutral constituents of Eperua purpurea BENTH. have been isolated and identified. The first isolation of crystalline racemic labda-8 (20), 13-dien-15-oic acid and of a high molecular weight (580) ester derived from labd-8 (20)-en-15-oic acid and the corresponding alcohol, is described.
