The present review is focussed on the structural elucidation of the bicyclic and tricyclic diterpenoid title compounds isolated from Pseudopterogorgia species, displaying a direct structural relationship with the biosynthetic precursor GGPP (regular isoprenoid skeletons). A compilation of 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic data is presented grouped by similar spin systems. Apparent inconsistencies or potential missassignments are discussed, pointing out convenient revisions of data assignment to improve structure correlations. Some hemisynthetic intermediates in the structural elucidation process are included, as well as data of representative synthetic compounds.

The present review of NMR spectroscopic structural elucidation data of new compounds isolated from Scutellaria species is focused on the title compounds, displaying a peculiar 13-spiro feature. It contains a compilation of 1H and 13C NMR data of these diterpenoids grouped by similar substitution patterns. Comparing shielding effects pointed out not only the identity of some compounds (already reported) but also potential misassignments and convenient revisions to get unambiguous structural proposals.
