Isolation and Structure Elucidation of 36 Diterpenoids from Leaf-Glands of Plectranthus edulis (VATKE) T.T. AYEAnalysis of the polar diterpenoids from the yellow glands of the title plant from Kenya and Abyssinia led to the identification of several novel abietanoids. Main compound is the known edulon A (40), a 5(4→3) abeo-abietane. Minor compounds include 6 different royleanones, 15 spirocoleons, 3 vinylogous quinones, 8 acylhydroquinones (as their 6,7-dioxo compounds or the tautomeric disophenols), 2 naphthaquinones (as the 1,10-seco-abietanoids), and deacetyledulon A. The known coleon-A-lactone (37) now has also been found in Plectranthus edulis. The intermediacy of the γ-enollactol 44, combined with a leaving group on C(3) is postulted to explain the biogenesis of the unusual 4H-5-oxaaceanthrylen skeleton of edulon A.
