Citlalitrione, a new diterpene from Jatropha dioica var. sessiliflora.
Solvent partitioning and column chromatography of MeOH root extracts of Jatropha dioica yielded four pure compounds, beta-sitosterol, jatropholone B, a previously unknown diterpene epoxytrione given the trivial name citlalitrione, and riolozatrione. Structures were determined using physical and spectral techniques and X-ray crystallography.
