“…Moreover, the HMBC correlations from H-18 (δ H 2.73) to C-3 (δ C 128.1)/C-5 (δ C 132.2) were employed to locate a methyl group at C-4 (Figures2 and S7). This led us to deduce the presence of a dinorditerpenoid residue, a structural motif which was observed in R-(+)-salmiltiorin E[24].Theadditional 1 H NMR data demonstrated a 1,3,4-trisubstrituted phenyl ring [δ H 7.12 (1H, d, J = 1.9 Hz, H-2 ), 6.84 (1H, d, J = 8.0 Hz, H-5 ), 6.99 (1H, dd, J = 1.9, 8.0 Hz, H-6 )] skeleton typical of a caffeoyl moiety [δ H 7.16 (1H, d, J = 1.5 Hz, H-2 ), 6.84 (1H, d, J = 8.0 Hz, H-5 ), 7.04 (1H, dd, J = 1.5, 8.0 Hz, H-6 ), 7.64 (1H, d, J = 15.8 Hz, H-7 ), 6.29 (1H, d, J = 15.8 Hz, H-8 )] (Table1, FigureS4)[25]. In addition, the trans-coupled H-7 and H-8 were elucidated on the basis of their relatively large coupling constants (J = 15.8 Hz).…”
