“…The 1 H NMR spectrum exhibited typical signals for three olefinic protons at δ H 6.28 (1H, d, J = 3.6 Hz, H-13a), 5.70 (1H, d, J = 3.6 Hz, H-13b), and 6.21 (1H, m, H-3′), three oxymethine protons at δ H 4.63 (1H, dd, J = 11.4, 9.6 Hz, H-6), 5.64 (1H, dd, J = 4.2, 1.8 Hz, H-8), and 3.88 (1H, d, J = 4.8 Hz, H-9), two oxymethylene protons at δ H 3.70 (2H, s, H 2 -14), a methoxy proton at δ H 3.49 (3H, s, OCH 3 -9), and two methyl protons at δ H 1.95 (3H, m, Me-4′), and 1.83 (3H, m, Me-5′). In the 13 C NMR spectrum, apart from five characteristic carbon signals for the angeloyloxy group, 15 carbon resonances were observed, and these were ascribed to one methyl, four methylenes (including one olefinic carbon at δ C 122.2), six methines, and four quaternary carbons (including one olefinic carbon at δ C 136.5 and two carbonyl carbons at δ C 170.6 and 211.3), with the aid of an HSQC experiment. These characteristic signals, in combination with the HRESIMS data, implied that 8 is a highly oxidized sesquiterpenoid possessing an angeloyloxy group substitution.…”
