NEW ELEMANOLIDES FROM ZINNIA SPECIES: STRUCTURAL REVISION OF THE ZINNOLIDES

Abstract
A study of Zinnia peruviana afforded the new elemanolides zinaflorin IV and zinaflorin V. An X-ray crystallographic analysis of zinaflorin IV established its structure and stereochemistry as belonging to the rather unusual group of C14α, H5β elemanolides. The generic name zinnolides is proposed for the elemanolides possessing the same relative configuration around the six member ring as that of zinaflorin IV.
