Abstract
Numerous cembranoic diterpenes have been isolated from marine gorgonians and terrestrial plants. There have, however, been only a few reports of the isolation and identification of these interesting compounds from higher animal sources. The isolation of the oxo‐bridged cembranoid diterpene jeunicin from the mollusc Planaxis sulcatus is reported. A comparative discussion of the utility of COSY, homonuclear RELAY (relayed COSY) and proton double quantum coherence techniques is presented, the latter successfully establishing the identities of all of the proton resonances. Acquisition of a two‐dimensional proton‐carbon chemical shift correlation spectrum provided the means of unequivocally establishing 13C resonance assignments.
